Q8. What challenges did Aakriti face while establishing Lamior?

Initially, one of our major hurdles was educating customers on the benefits of clean beauty. It is still a dominant mindset that clean beauty products trade quality and are inefficient in delivering results because they lack certain ingredients. However, with every product we launch we are actively working to achieve a sustainable mindset that clean beauty can be possible without compromising product performance. Overcoming this challenge requires extensive outreach efforts and transparent communication to build trust and loyalty among our audience.

Q9. Can you describe a memorable Lamior product launch?

One of the most memorable and challenging product launches was of our bio-advanced tech-based Glow Burst Encapsulated Foundation. We are the first ones in India to manufacture and launch a product based on micro-droplet pigment encapsulation. Given the product is of 98% natural origin while giving the most skin-like radiant and seamless finish was also a big challenge. We could have opted for the easier route by launching a regular foundation but we always want to give the best of quality and sensorial experiences to our customers, hence we spent hundreds of hours in its R&D and the launch. And we are super elated as it has been very well received and appreciated by our customers. The product went viral on the day of its launch.

Q10. How does Lamior stay ahead of beauty trends?

Through extensive research and development, Lamior innovates and creates products that cater to the desires of their clientele. By collaborating with influencers and beauty experts, Lamior gains valuable insights into emerging trends and ensures their offerings remain relevant and exciting. Their active engagement on social media platforms allows them to connect directly with their customers, understanding their needs and preferences in real-time.
