About Us
We Didn’t Start a Business. We Found an Answer.
This isn’t the story of two entrepreneurs who spotted a gap in the market. It is the story of a wife, a husband, a painful diagnosis, a pregnancy, and a discovery that changed everything. Not just for us, but for every person we’ve met since who was told their skin problems were something they’d just have to “learn to live with.”
We are Akanksha and Mohit, and Wonder Skin Care was born not in a boardroom, but at a doctor’s clinic where we were told the words no one ever wants to hear:
"This is incurable. She will have this for life."
The Diagnosis That Started It All
Akanksha was diagnosed with a type of skin dermatitis, a condition her doctors described as a permanent part of her life. The only option, they said, was to manage it with anti-viral medication. So that’s what we did. We visited dermatologist after dermatologist, tried homeopathic treatments, exhausted every home remedy we could find. Each offered some relief, but the moment her body built immunity to a treatment, the condition would return worse than before. The doctors’ only answer was to keep increasing the dosage.
There came a point where Akanksha was consuming anti-viral medication every single day in doses that were taking a visible toll on her physical and mental health. We felt completely trapped.
A Pregnancy That Changed Everything
Then came the news that filled us with joy and terror in equal measure. We were expecting our first child. Akanksha’s obstetrician was clear: all anti-viral medication had to stop immediately, as the risk to the foetus was too great.
Akanksha, being the absolutist she is, went further. No medication. Clean food only. And no skin care products, because she knew that ingredients in mainstream skin care are absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the skin, and she refused to take any risk with our baby.
One of the fears that kept us awake at night was the possibility that our child might also inherit her condition. We whispered about it in the dark and worried silently through the day.
And then something extraordinary happened.
Her skin cleared up. Completely. Without any medication at all.
The condition that doctors had called incurable had simply disappeared, not because of medicine, but because of its absence. We were overjoyed beyond reason.
It Was Never the Disease. It Was the Products.
Once the initial joy settled, we began asking the question that would change everything: what had we been doing before the pregnancy that we had stopped doing during it?
The answer sat on our bathroom shelf in a row of pretty bottles. The skin care products we had been using for years without a second thought. Products chosen for their fragrance, their packaging, because they were positioned perfectly at eye level in a store. Products whose ingredients Akanksha had never once questioned, until now.
Akanksha spent months researching. She studied ingredients, formulations, and clinical data, reading research papers well past midnight. What she found was both shocking and liberating: she had never truly had skin dermatitis. Her skin was ultra-sensitive, and the fragrances and harsh chemicals in mainstream skin care had been triggering her condition for years. The disease was a reaction. The products were the cause.
Enter K-Beauty: Skincare That Thinks Like We Do
This revelation set us on a search for something better. Skincare that was clean, intentional, and built around the skin’s actual needs rather than marketing appeal. That search led us to the world of Korean skincare, or K-beauty.
K-beauty was not just a trend. It was a philosophy built on gentle, skin-barrier-first formulations, minimal irritants, and a deep respect for what skin actually needs to thrive. It aligned perfectly with everything Akanksha’s research had shown her. One fine day, the idea took root: what if we built a business around clean skincare? Not just selling products, but helping others avoid the years of unnecessary suffering Akanksha had endured?
How We Found haruharu WONDER
We began looking for K-beauty brands that matched our ideology, not just in marketing language, but in actual formulation principles. It had to be clean, transparent about ingredients, and genuinely gentle for sensitive skin.
That’s when we came across haruharu WONDER.
haruharu WONDER matched our thinking entirely. With 95% vegan ingredients, no harsh fragrances, and a formulation philosophy built around easily irritated skin, it was precisely what Akanksha had spent those sleepless nights searching for. We did not choose it because it was popular. We chose it because it was the answer we wish we had found years earlier.
We simply love the haruharu WONDER range, and we hope with all our hearts that you will too.
Why We Added Heimish: A Brand That Feels Like Home
As our journey into K-beauty deepened, one name kept appearing in the conversations of skincare enthusiasts across the world: Heimish.
The name itself stopped us in our tracks. Heimish is derived from the Yiddish word “heim,” meaning home, used to describe something warm, familiar, and comforting. For a brand, that is a remarkable aspiration. When we dug deeper into their story, we understood exactly why they had chosen it.
Founded in Seoul in 2016 by cosmetic experts with over a decade in the beauty industry, Heimish was built on a simple but powerful belief: everyone deserves skincare that is gentle, effective, and honest. Their motto, “Grow Your Glow,” is a commitment to helping people achieve naturally glowing, healthy skin through clean beauty practices. Their products are paraben-free, cruelty-free, and formulated with natural botanical ingredients that work without irritating the skin.
Their philosophy resonated with us on a deeply personal level. Heimish believes in products that customers can repurchase without hesitation, that work smoothly without causing irritation. They do not believe in masking your skin or overwhelming it. They believe in revealing the natural beauty that is already there. So do we.
When we decided to bring Heimish to India, it did not feel like a business decision. It felt like completing a circle. Their iconic All Clean Balm has earned a cult following globally for its ability to melt away makeup and impurities without stripping the skin’s natural barrier, the very thing mainstream products had been silently destroying in Akanksha for years.
India deserves access to skincare like this. Genuinely clean, genuinely effective, and genuinely kind to the skin. That belief is why Wonder Skin Care exists.
