The Manasi 7 makeup collection is a testament to a true commitment to using primarily natural, certified organic ingredients. In adherence to the COSMOS organic standard, Manasi 7 incorporates some nature-identical ingredients and natural colour pigments to achieve desired shades, supplemented only with minimal amounts of synthetic pigments when necessary. Notably, all Manasi 7 products are palm oil-free, with any derivatives sourced only from certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO) in accordance with COSMOS certification standards. While Manasi 7 strive to exclude wheat and gluten from their formulas, they cannot guarantee complete absence due to potential trace amounts from production.

Vegan and Beegan Friendly
Always cruelty-free, at Manasi 7, the commitment to ethical beauty extends beyond mere labels. Avoiding synthetic raw materials in all makeup products is standard. Recognising the distinction between vegan and non-vegan isn’t always straightforward. Vegan formulations may still contain synthetic ingredients, pigments, preservatives, fragrances, and fillers. Instead, the Manasi 7 focus lies in crafting makeup that prioritises the best possible compositions of ingredients tailored for their intended use. For instance, while some of the products may contain organic beeswax—a non-vegan ingredient— they prioritise its use for its contribution to sustainable bee farming practices. Beeswax, harvested alongside honey, not only offers a sustainable and eco-friendly option but also supports the vital role bees play in natural pollination, reducing reliance on chemical fertilisers and promoting organic crop yields. By incorporating beeswax, they not only enhance the quality of products but also contribute to the preservation of our ecosystem.
The Manasi 7 All Over Colour is the ultimate multi-tasking beauty essential that embraces the ethos of beegan-friendly makeup. Designed for use on lips, cheeks, and eyes, these versatile colour pots offer endless possibilities for creating stunning looks with minimal effort. Creamy and luxurious, they glide onto the skin effortlessly, blending seamlessly to deliver a natural flush of color that enhances your unique beauty. By incorporating these versatile pots into your routine, you can streamline your makeup collection while customizing colours to perfectly complement your skin tone. They are perfect for decluttering your makeup bag and simplifying your beauty rituals, helping you to prioritise quality and versatility.
