Indian Ayurvedic beauty and wellness brand SoulTree opened the doors to its flagship location as a place for consumers to experience its skin, hair and makeup products, and do so in a completely sustainable way. The store sets itself apart as India’s first solar-powered beauty and wellness store, and the 600 square foot boutique was constructed of biodegradable materials, non-plastic fixtures and reclaimed wood with a zero-waste policy. At the store, staff are also outfitted in sustainable materials and 100% organic cotton to further support the brand's commitment to an organic, ethical and eco-friendly future.
Within the store, shoppers will find products like organic skincare, bath products, haircare and makeup made with natural ingredients.
