Our Story

Two friends, a kitchen studio, and jars of skincare that tell the truth.

SPANESHHIYA began with a simple frustration: skincare that promised the moon and delivered a ten-step routine. So Mishti and Komal started whipping batches of their own — and never really stopped.

It began with a patch test

The first SPANESHHIYA batch was a rose clay mask made on a Sunday afternoon, mostly because neither of us could find a mask that didn't leave our skin tight and complaining. We patched-tested it on ourselves for weeks before we dared give a jar to a friend.

That friend came back asking for a second jar, and a third, and then started sending us her friends. The name — SPANESHHIYA, a hush of a word, a wish for someone's skin — came later. The rule came first: care, not correction.

Today every product is still made the same way it was then: by hand, in small batches, in our own studio, with ingredients we'd be happy to explain line by line on the label.

What we believe

Real skin, no retouching

Our photos show pores, texture and shine. If skin looks airbrushed, it isn't doing your skin any favours.

Fewer, better things

No thirty-step routines. A handful of products, used well, will do more than a cabinet full of maybe.

Labels you can read

Every ingredient printed in full, in plain language, with what it does. No 'fragrance' hiding twenty chemicals.

Made fresh, on purpose

Small batches mean we can answer for every jar — and you get it close to when it was whipped.

Be your own skinfluencer

We'll never sell you a version of your skin you can't have.

The phrase on our heart-mark is an invitation: to learn your own skin, trust your own mirror, and stop outsourcing your routine to whoever has the best ring-light. We make the products; you make the call.

“We are two normal people who got obsessed with ingredients lists. If our jars make your ten quiet minutes a week a little kinder — that's the whole business plan.”
