Satliva

Added on August 31, 2026

Most skincare brands manufacture in batches and hold inventory. Satliva does neither. Every order triggers a fresh extraction of hemp seed oil, blended with the specific butters and essential oils that product calls for, and shipped only after that. Nothing sits on a shelf waiting to be sold.

Harshavardhan Reddy Sirupa and Namrata Reddy Sirupa started the brand in Bangalore in 2016, years before hemp and CBD-adjacent skincare became a familiar aisle in Indian beauty stores. Namrata brought a background in computer engineering and a stint as a QA engineer at NASA before turning to formulation, sourcing hemp seed oil from government-approved growers across Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Madhya Pradesh.

The made-to-order model isn't just a manufacturing choice, it shaped how the brand treats its supply chain. During the 2020 lockdown, when Satliva's hemp farmers couldn't transport their harvest and were financially stretched, the brand redirected the farmers' unsold stock into its own warehouses rather than leaving them stranded, buying stock it didn't immediately need to keep the farmers afloat.

Worth knowing: made-to-order means longer dispatch times than a brand shipping from ready stock, and this is a nine-year-old brand rather than a recent discovery, closer to an overlooked pioneer than a new find. The catalogue spans face, hair, body and wellness, so it rewards a bit of browsing rather than one obvious hero product.

Best for: readers interested in hemp-based skincare and haircare done by one of India's original players in the category, and who don't mind trading a few extra days of shipping for freshly made products.
