Why I Do What I Do
I’m Renuka, and for me, skincare is about going back to basics. My mom always said, “Are, kuch khaas nahi, sab kitchen se hi hai” (Nothing fancy, it’s all from the kitchen). That’s stuck with me. I believe in simple routines - cleanse, hydrate, protect - and doing it every day, not chasing trends.
What I Make
My journey started with my daughter refusing sticky ubtan, so I made it into a soap. Now, I handcraft small batch natural soaps like Abhyangasnan Ubtan Soap (turmeric, sandalwood, neem, rose), Honey Manjishtha Soap for blemishes, and cooling summer soaps like Aloe Lemongrass. Every bar is made by me, in micro-batches, so you get fresh stuff.
Face & Body Care
I don’t believe in “skin types” - your skin changes with mood, weather, stress. My ayurvedic skincare blends are gentle, pH-balanced, and always SLS and paraben free. Cleansers for acne, dryness, or just a pick-me-up. Hydration boosters like Rose Water Face Mist (with hyaluronic acid) and Red Aloe Vera Gel for skin and hair. Body butters that sink in, not sit on top. Lip balms that heal, not just tint.
How I Work
It’s just me, some passion, and a bit of desi jugaad (creative fixes). No big machines, no shortcuts. Everything is plant-based, cruelty-free, and I run a bottle back campaign for eco-friendly skincare packaging. Not perfect, but always honest.

My Story
Hi, I’m Renuka. MadebyRen started in my kitchen, thanks to my daughter who hated sticky ubtan during Diwali. Instead of forcing, I tried to fix it. My mum’s simple routines always stuck with me - she used a few things, but with full love. I spent years feeling odd about my skin, but now, dhuaan chhatta (smoke cleared), I just want healthy skin. Every product I make, it’s got a bit of my journey in it.
My Work
Handmade Skincare & Haircare - I make small-batch soaps, face washes, hair oils, SLS-free gentle shampoos, body butters, and more.
Tradition Meets Science - My formulas mix old-school Ayurvedic stuff like Kasturi Manjal with modern extracts for real results.
Personalized Gifting - Love curating custom natural skincare hampers for Diwali, Haldi-Kumkum, or just because you feel like gifting.
Simple, Honest Care - No fuss. Just cleanse, hydrate, protect. My stuff is about care, not trends.
