indu to Launch Worldwide

 

indu is an industry first beauty brand, created for and driven by teenagers. This innovative brand comprises skincare, makeup and a new-to-market category; “colourless”, for teens. With research showing 73% of teens want a product specifically made for them, indu has been crafted with teens at the heart of the brand. 

This entry-point-to-beauty brand offers teens a safe space to learn and care for their skin as well as experiment with makeup in a holistic, healthy and fun way. 

Formulated for teenage skin, lifestyle and needs, indu is ready to disrupt the market, by focussing on exploring individuality, self-expression and building confidence for a previously overlooked market with teens voice and insight positioned at the forefront of every brand decision. 

Founded by Teens - Supported by Expertise 

indu has been created and co-founded by industry experts, Reena Hammer, previously Managing Director of beauty destination Urban Retreat and Global Director of Soho House and Aaron Chatterley and Richard Schiessl, co-founders of revolutionary beauty retailer Feelunique that sold to Sephora in 2021. 

This dynamic trio bring their industry knowledge, retail experience and innovative thinking to indu, informed by the indu teen committee built up of 150+ global and diverse makeup and skincare enthusiasts, aged 13-17. 

The indu teen committee is truly at the heart of the brand - authentically putting teens at the centre of indu’s creation and helping shape indu from the very beginning. The teen committee is, and has been, influencing and informing decisions across the business.

Aaron Chatterley says; “We are so excited to be bringing indu to teens with the support of teens. Teen beauty is an under-served market and brands just haven’t resonated in the past. indu will change that. The concept started with my teens who expressed on a family holiday that there were no brands that were made specifically for them or were formulated for their skin needs. Over the last 2 years we’ve worked incredibly hard with teens to pinpoint exactly what teens want and what a teen brand needs; we are so proud to present indu – an age-appropriate brand that parents will understand, trust, and teens will know it is truly for them.” 

The indu product line-up comprises three ranges, which have been formulated for young skin and lifestyles featuring gentle and calming formulations that are always conscious and inclusive. 

Skincare Collection

Whether it be stress from exams, hormone changes, diet or environmental factors, indu skincare is designed to bring teen skin back to balance, whatever life throws at them, respecting teen skin microbiome with a unique tri-biotic complex.
