Myntra and SUGAR Cosmetics Partner to Launch Molten Beauty

— October 8, 2025 — Fashion
Myntra and SUGAR Cosmetics have partnered to launch Molten Beauty, a new Gen-Z-focused brand that combines skincare and makeup.

Molten Beauty fills a gap in the Indian beauty market by combining Myntra’s e-commerce expertise with SUGAR’s innovation and brand experience. The brand emphasizes a skin-first philosophy, offering vegan and cruelty-free products with active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides.

Designed to feel weightless and natural, the products enhance rather than conceal, providing second-skin comfort, sensory appeal, and visible benefits, aligning with Gen Z’s preference for authenticity and transparency.

“[...] With over 25 million Gen Z users on our platform, we understand their evolving aspirations, and with its skin-first philosophy, Molten Beauty will perfectly resonate with their aspirational beauty choices. This strategic association is poised to reinforce our place as the go-to destination for the new generation of beauty consumers,” said Nandita Sinha, CEO of Myntra.
