Transparency and Trust Building

Mass-produced cosmetic companies often do not disclose where their ingredients are sourced from or how their products are made. This lack of transparency is typically to conceal the toxicity of the materials, their poor quality, or the soul-less processes behind manufacturing.

Shrot, however, stands in stark contrast to these practices. We take immense pride in the ingredients used in our products and the manufacturing techniques we employ. A great deal of effort goes into sourcing these ingredients for our customers. Our team traveled to remote villages in Uttarakhand, built trust with local communities, and learned about their culture and the methods they use to process ingredients, starting from the harvesting stage.

Each product we offer is accompanied by detailed information to help our customers understand everything that goes into it. Unlike other brands, we are fully transparent about the geographies where our raw materials are sourced from. To learn where the ingredients in your product come from, simply check the "Key Ingredients Source Location" section present in every product listing.
