the facts

why Metabu.

Straight answers about who we are and what we make — cruelty-free, dermatologist-tested colour cosmetics built in India, for Indian skin. No fine print.

what Metabu makes

Metabu is an Indian colour-cosmetics brand by NHD Lifestyle Pvt. Ltd. We make pigment-rich, long-wearing makeup across four categories — lips (lipstick, liquid lipstick and crayon), face (foundation, blush, concealer, highlighter), eyes (kajal, eyeliner, eyeshadow) and nails — every shade chosen for Indian skin tones and the Indian climate.

made for Indian skin

We don’t adapt a global range for India — the shades are formulated and matched here, around warm, olive and deep Indian undertones. If you’re unsure, the free shade finder and AI virtual try-on let you preview a colour on your own face before you buy.

cruelty-free, dermatologist-tested

Every Metabu product is cruelty-free and never tested on animals, dermatologist-tested, and free of parabens and phthalates. Ingredient lists are shown on the product pages that carry them, and we send the full list for any other product on request.

made in India

Metabu is made in India by NHD Lifestyle Pvt. Ltd., founded in December 2022 and based in Vadodara, Gujarat. Products range from ₹190 to ₹1,099.

shipping & returns

We ship across India — free on orders of ₹399 and above, with a flat ₹100 fee below that. Orders dispatch within 1–2 business days, and you can pay by cash on delivery, UPI or card. Cosmetics are personal-care items, so we can’t accept opened or used returns — but anything that arrives damaged is replaced free of charge.
