ReshaMandi, a digital ecosystem for natural fibre supply chain, has forayed into the skincare segment by making a substantial investment in Bengaluru-based skincare brand Healios Wound Solutions.
Healios has developed a formulae with silk protein – sericin and boasts an advanced product range by the brand name ‘SeriSkin’. The investment will allow Healios to expand its silk protein-based skincare range and market it to a wider audience looking for natural, sustainable and environment-friendly skincare products, ReshaMandi said in a statement. However, details of the investment were not disclosed.

Mayank Tiwari, Founder & CEO, ReshaMandi, said, “We are trying to create a benchmark in the sericulture industry by delivering quality, fair pricing and sustainability. We understand that silk is beyond just luxurious garments and with technology, we can utilise silkworm waste and mulberry farm waste to create sustainable products. Together with Healios, we will be able to accelerate our commitment to building a zero-waste sericulture ecosystem. Their expertise and varied product portfolio make them a perfect fit for being our trusted partner.”
