How was Mamaearth Started In the US, there is strong awareness about the harmful chemicals found in the most commonly used personal care and baby care products. During Ghazal’s stay there, she became more conscious of the kind of products she was using and started checking the ingredients list before buying any baby care item. When Varun and Ghazal were expecting their first child (the couple were in India at the time), they realized that the baby care products they came across contained harmful toxins and safer alternatives weren't available. As a result, they started ordering products from the US but that turned out to be a costly and inconvenient arrangement. They also realized that it wasn’t just them; there are a lot of parents in India struggling with the same concern. Since the husband-wife duo couldn’t find any safe products for babies in India, they stopped using Indian products and imported reliable products manufactured in other countries.
