The company is introducing two new products designed to enhance the wellness of both infants and adults, reinforcing its dedication to offering comprehensive health solutions that combine the wisdom of Ayurveda with modern needs.

The newly launched products include the Kesini Hair Care Range, which features Bringadi Thailam, an Ayurvedic hair oil enriched with the nourishing properties of four types of milk to support hair growth and restore scalp health. Additionally, AVP introduces AVP Baby Oil, a gentle formulation made with virgin coconut oil and rare herbs to nurture infant skin. These offerings are a testament to AVP’s ongoing mission to provide sustainable, accessible wellness solutions that meet the evolving demands of today’s consumers while honouring the brand’s rich Ayurvedic legacy.

“We are committed to making Ayurvedic care accessible to people at every stage of life,” said Mr. Vipin Vijay, CEO of AVP. “With our new product offerings, ranging from infant care to holistic wellness, we are integrating the power of Ayurveda into everyday life. By staying true to our core values of Vidya (Knowledge), Vaidya (Expertise), and Vidhi (Methodology), we ensure that our innovations respect traditional wisdom while addressing the dynamic needs of modern consumers.”

This expansion forms a crucial part of AVP’s broader strategy to adapt to the changing landscape of health and wellness while remaining anchored in its Ayurvedic foundation. The company continues to combine timeless Ayurvedic formulations with cutting-edge research, ensuring each product is both effective and in harmony with the principles of Ayurveda.
