The Thesis

Discipline looks good on you.

Most skincare is built for European winters. We build for the Indian sun — climate-tested in humidity, tint-matched to Indian skin, pigmentation-first.

  • Humidity-stable
  • Anti-pollution barrier
  • Pigmentation-aware
Harsh midday Indian sunlight casting deep geometric shadows across a modern concrete building — the climate HARLAND was formulated for.

The Difference

What good sunscreen looks like on Indian skin.

Side-by-side on Indian skin: ordinary sunscreen leaves a chalky white cast, while HARLAND's Sunscreen Serum finishes invisible, matte, and natural.
Left: ordinary sunscreen — chalky, white cast, heavy. Right: HARLAND — invisible, matte, real skin.

The Formulation

What's actually in it.

One stubborn idea: that an Indian routine should be short, specific, and honest about what it does.

Fit Check

Is HARLAND right for you?

Built for you if

  • You live in a hot, humid, or polluted Indian city

  • You prefer honest ingredient lists over marketing jargon

Probably not for you if

  • You need prescription-grade treatment for acne, rosacea, or eczema
  • You want fragrance-free products — ours have a light botanical scent
  • You’re looking for anti-aging or retinol-based skincare
  • You prefer an elaborate multi-step routine

The Manifesto

We didn't build HARLAND because India needed more products. It needed fewer — and better. Two products. One routine. Made for the skin we have, and the climate we live in. Nothing else.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Does the sunscreen leave a white cast?
+
No. The Sunscreen Serum is SPF 50 PA++++ and tinted to disappear into Indian skin tones, with no white cast on darker skin.
When will I see results?
+
Most users notice a cleaner, less dull complexion within 2 weeks of consistent use. Visible improvement in uneven tone and post-acne marks typically takes 4–6 weeks. Sunscreen protection is immediate from first application.
What skin type is this for?
+
All skin types — oily, dry, combination, and sensitive. The sulfate-free cleanser won't strip; the sunscreen is non-greasy. If you have a diagnosed condition (eczema, rosacea, cystic acne), see a dermatologist first. Always patch test.
How long does each product last?
+
The Cleanser (100 ml) lasts about 45 days with twice-daily use. The Sunscreen Serum (50 g) lasts about 30 days with once-daily use. The Bundle works out to roughly ₹27 per day — to look fresh in every meeting, commute, and photo.
Where does HARLAND ship and what does it cost?
+
HARLAND ships across India with free shipping on all orders. Cash on delivery is available. Orders dispatch in 2–3 business days; delivery takes 3–7 business days depending on your location.
What is the return policy?
+
Report a damaged, wrong, or tampered order within 48 hours of delivery with an unboxing video. Refunds are processed within 5 business days of pickup.
Can I use this with other skincare products?
+
Yes. The Cleanser works as your daily face wash — use it before any serums or treatments you already use. The Sunscreen Serum should be the last step in your morning routine (after any treatment serums, before makeup).
Are the products fragrance-free?
+
No. Both products contain a light fragrance from botanical extracts. They are free of parabens, SLS/SLES, and oxybenzone.
How is this different from other Indian skincare brands?
+
Most Indian brands rebrand European formulas or sell ten-product routines. HARLAND is two products — built for Indian climate, tested on Indian skin tones (no white cast), made in India. No separate moisturisers, toners, or serums, because you don't need them.
Where are HARLAND products made?
+
At a licensed manufacturing facility in Himachal Pradesh. The brand is designed, formulated, and based in Hyderabad.
Who is HARLAND for?
+
Adults with skin exposed to Indian conditions — humidity, pollution, sun, and pigmentation. The formulas are suited to all skin types; a patch test is advised before first use.
What products does HARLAND sell?
+
Two: the Moisture-Lock Cleanser (₹399, 100 ml) and the Sunscreen Serum (₹549, 50 g). Both together as The Bundle cost ₹799 — a saving of ₹149.
What is HARLAND?
+
HARLAND is a two-step skincare brand by SLATE & CO, built in Hyderabad for Indian skin and Indian climate. It makes one cleanser and one serum-sunscreen — no eleven-step routine.
