Vanity Wagon prioritizes environmental sustainability at every level by carefully choosing eco-friendly brand partners and making sure that the goods are produced ethically without using any hazardous chemicals or testing on animals. Recycled packaging has helped in reducing our carbon footprint. In addition, collaborations with companies that share our commitment to sustainability have been crucial to bringing about constructive change in the sector in the past years.
The brand has introduced cutting-edge technologies that streamline both front-end and back-end operations, which has helped enhance the customer experience in selecting toxin-free and natural beauty products. Thus, the brand has achieved T+1 Delivery in the Delhi NCR region for 90% of its orders. Embodying inclusivity and excellence in serving consumers, Vanity Wagon has seamlessly incorporated over 15 K-beauty brands into its e-commerce platform.
Launched India’s first and only clean beauty pop-up Mix It Up With Vanity Wagon that offers a platform for clean beauty brands and emerging entrepreneurs to talk about clean beauty, crucial ingredients, and the valuable need to adopt a sustainable yet clean beauty regime. By setting up physical pop-up stores inside prominent malls in Delhi, Chandigarh, and other cities, Vanity Wagon has deliberately extended its presence offline.
