Because I make everything fresh in small batches once you order, I don’t keep old stock lying around. If you need a specific hair oil blend or want to tweak a scent for a gift hamper, just send me a message on WhatsApp; I love working directly with you to get the formula just right. Running a small business for the last seven years has been my therapy. It hasn't always been easy—there are days when I’m playing product designer, photographer, finance head, and delivery runner all at once. ### My Handmade Process Everything is prepared from scratch in my home studio. When you order a custom hair oil, I’m not just pouring liquid into a bottle; I’m slow-cooking carrier oils with fresh herbs like rosemary and fenugreek to target specific issues like postpartum hair fall or dryness. ### Why I Keep It Small I believe in quality over quantity. That is why I don't mass-produce. When you request a custom soap, I can adjust the base to be goat milk or glycerin and add the botanicals you actually like. This approach takes more time, but it means you get a product that is made for you, not one sitting on a shelf for months. ### Let's Create Something Together I know it's easy to get lost in the sea of celebrity brands, but my commitment is to stay real and transparent. Whether you need a simple face gel for sensitive skin or a festive hamper full of candles and wax sachets, I’m here to make it happen. I’m quite *mehnati* (hardworking) and *mujhe maza aata hai* (I really enjoy) the process of turning your needs into a finished product. If you have a special request, just ask—I’m usually right here in my studio, working away. ## About Plush I’m the person behind Plush. What started seven years ago with me and my mom making soap in a tiny room has grown into my absolute passion. I’m incredibly *mehnati* about getting every detail right, from the herbs in your hair oil to the handwritten notes in your hampers.
