d’you

d'you is an Indian skincare brand with an unusually clear operating principle: if we cannot explain it, we do not deserve to sell it. Founded by Shamika Haldipurkar, who began developing the brand in 2018 and launched its first product, the hustle serum, in 2020, it has built a following on radical clarity about what is inside each formula and why. The brand simplifies the relationship between science and skincare without dumbing it down. It publishes ingredient percentages, explains mechanisms of action and refuses what it calls gatekeeping the science, which has made it a reference point for people who read INCI lists before they read marketing copy. Products cover serums, moisturisers and treatments, with a deliberately small catalogue where each launch is developed over an extended period rather than rushed to market. Every d'you product is one hundred percent vegan and cruelty-free. Formulations are free from alcohol and known allergens, and products are safe for use during pregnancy and lactation, which the brand states plainly rather than leaving customers to guess. Manufacturing takes place in South Korea, at a facility in Incheon, with the brand imported and marketed from Maharashtra, and d'you is transparent about this rather than implying domestic production. It has also declined outside investment in favour of creative control. Priced in the luxury tier and deliberately minimalist, d'you is a strong choice for anyone seeking vegan, cruelty-free skincare with genuine formulation transparency and no marketing fluff.
