– The Vanity Dossier
WHO WE ARE
The Vanity Dossier is your definitive authority on all things beauty and wellness – with focus on clean beauty and green, healthy lifestyle. It is a beauty and wellbeing magazine that is here to start the dialogue on clean, green and responsible beauty. We aim to inspire, educate, and guide our readers on the evolving meaning of beauty and wellbeing in the ever- shifting lifestyle situation.
The Vanity Dossier has evolved from the need to create awareness about clean beauty and support the consumers to move towards that. Our team of beauty content experts take a journalistic approach to bring you well-researched articles backed by expert recommendations and reviews. In The Vanity Dossier you will find credible, informative, and objective inputs from beauty and lifestyle experts. Here we share with you, in-depth review of beauty products, latest trends, tips and tricks. All these to help you make informed and confident choices for your beauty and wellness needs.
Its sister brand Vanity Wagon, with a vision to replace toxic, chemical-laden products with natural, organic, sustainable personal care alternatives that are safe for you and the environment, is the first and largest Clean Beauty Marketplace in India. It was conceived in 2018 keeping in sight the direct need of sustainable beauty and a conscious lifestyle. Four years later, in 2022, we realised the lack of a clean beauty information and awareness portal in the country, which could educate and introduce
people to this necessary concept. Thus, The Vanity Dossier was born.
At The Vanity Dossier, we hope to create a community where we celebrate individuality, lifestyle, and beauty in every form - help our readers be confident in their beauty and wellness choices. We are here to support our readers in this journey as you find that perfect balance in living a beautiful
and mindful lifestyle.
