The brand has been recognised for its green credentials by United Nations India, Lakme India Fashion Week, CNBC TV18, among others.
The brand offers a range of modern everyday lifestyle products under categories of apparel, skincare & home accents for wellness-conscious cosmopolites across the world. At every step of production, the brand weighs its options and makes a choice to select procedures and raw materials that are less taxing on the environment. Needless to say, the packaging is completely free of plastic! All in all, the brand is here to promote a holistic sustainable lifestyle, be it food, fashion, travel, or everyday living. The brand is here to make sustainability accessible.
Under fashion, they are currently serving women and kids with their clean & comfortable lounge sets, t-shirts, dresses, sweatshirts, joggers and more. What’s exciting is their kidswear is gender-neutral and easy-breezy. Saltpetre will soon be launching menswear too.
The brand offers a line of natural skincare products ranging from face scrubs, bath soaps and body butters to eye balms, tint balms and lip balms, among other products.
They also have a line of home accents with eco-friendly beeswax candles being one of their highest selling products. Other products in this category include scented pouches, soft toys made of up-cycled fabric, handwoven table napkins, and more.
