The brief

Skincare sold in India is mostly built for a climate with four seasons, or one. Skin here goes from dry heat to monsoon humidity to winter in a single year.

The brief was a brand that makes that change the reason to buy, and an identity that can grow from one product to a full range.

The ideaOne routine for each ritu.

The traditional Indian calendar has six ritus, or seasons. The range launches with four formulas, for the seasons that change your skin the most: Grishma, Varsha, Sharad and Hemant.

Each season gets its own colour, set as a band across the lid. The jars stay identical, so the system grows by adding a colour, not by redesigning the pack.
