Herbs × Modern Science, Made for Indian Skin
At HERBLY, every formula is the result of clinical research + traditional knowledge. We study peer-reviewed Elsevier/ScienceDirect papers on actives and botanicals, and only then select ingredients at safe, effective levels for Indian skin prone to pores, acne marks (PIH), uneven tone, and sun exposure.
I was born in Virajpet, Coorg — a land of forests, coffee estates, and time-honored herbal traditions. Growing up amidst this natural richness, I witnessed how communities relied on plants and botanicals not just for wellness, but as trusted solutions passed down for generations.
My professional journey took a different route: I became an Industrial Engineer and earned a PhD in Additive Manufacturing. My training taught me to value research, precision, and quality systems — skills that became the backbone of how I approach formulation science today.
When I settled in Coimbatore, I saw an opportunity to bridge my roots with my research: to combine tribal-harvested herbs from Karnataka’s forests with evidence-based clinical actives to create skincare that is both authentic and effective.
This vision became HERBLY.
This vision became HERBLY.
At HERBLY, we operate with the same rigor as any advanced engineering system:
For me, HERBLY is not just a brand. It is a scientifically accountable skincare system — where every formula is tested, compliant, and aligned with ISO and GMP quality frameworks.
My vision is to build a brand that consumers trust not only because it works, but because it is transparent, research-backed, and rooted in integrity. From forest to formula, and from lab to skin, HERBLY represents the confluence of where I come from and what I’ve learned.

We don’t just mix herbs and actives — we study them through peer-reviewed Elsevier and ScienceDirect research, then adapt for Indian skin physiology. Every ingredient has a scientific rationale, every % is purposeful, and every product comes with clear usage maps.
We partner directly with tribal families in the Western Ghats near Mangalore who hand-collect our herbs with traditional knowledge:
Every harvest is batch-tested in our labs for microbial safety, heavy metals, and active potency before entering formulations.
By naming our sourcing regions and communities, we ensure traceability, fair trade, and authenticity — because skincare should empower the hands that make it possible.
