Medial
Honasa Consumer, the parent company of skincare brands Mamaearth and others, has launched a budget-friendly beauty line called Staze 9to9. This move comes after Mamaearth achieved a revenue run rate of Rs 150 crore in its premium range of cosmetics. Staze will offer affordable lipsticks, eyeliners, foundations, and other products specifically targeting young shoppers. The prices of Staze products will be 30-50% lower than Mamaearth's range, and the formulations will also differ. Unlike Mamaearth, which started as an online brand before expanding offline, Staze will focus on offline retail initially.
