THE STORY
Embrace the goodness of pure plant-based ingredients like apricot and geranium with these soothing oils and face scrubs from the personal care brand Junaili. Made in the scenic hamlet of Rautakhet in Uttarakhand, each product is completely handcrafted. The kernels of locally grown apricots are cold-pressed by hand (at about 7,000 feet above sea level, no less) to extract the oil which is then stored in beautiful, easy to use bottles bringing you products that are sustainable and cruelty-free. But you won’t find too many of these too easily – Junaili makes their products in small batches to ensure freshness.
The apricot kernels are pressed using specially-fabricated Japanese style stainless steel machines to ensure no oil is absorbed in its moving parts leading to fresh, uncontaminated oil in each batch.
Junaili means ‘moonlight’ in the local dialect of the little hamlet of Rautakhet, where the label is based. The inspiration for the name is depicted on its label that is also illustrated by hand before being refined while printing.
