PAC Cosmetics approaches beauty as a process that focuses on skin health and makeup application. The brand focuses on providing skin support from preparation before makeup to care after removal. Its routines address skin needs at each step, highlighting the role of a balanced and well-prepared base in makeup application.
For skin preparation, the product lineup includes hydrating mists, moisturizers, and primers that improve skin texture, reduce dryness, and help makeup last longer. Each formulation is developed with consideration for Indian skin types and climate conditions, addressing issues caused by heat, humidity, and pollution. These products are intended to keep the skin breathable, refreshed, and comfortable, regardless of external factors.
Post-makeup care is just as important. The cleansing balm removes makeup and impurities gently while keeping skin hydrated and supporting recovery. Exfoliating products enhance the cleansing process by targeting dead skin buildup and improving overall skin texture with regular use. The routine also includes lip care and gentle wet wipes, providing a well-rounded and complete skincare plan. All products are designed to integrate into daily routines, whether used briefly or as part of a more detailed regimen.
Company Background and Leadership
PAC Cosmetics began its journey in 2014 with Bonish Jain as Founder and Director of PAC Cosmetics, initially focusing on professional makeup tools and brushes, a category that had limited availability in India but important for makeup artists. BY 2018, the brand was established as a professional-grade label, offering both tools and colour cosmetics to B2B and B2C both, developed with a focus on performance rather than trends. Every product was internationally benchmarked yet specifically formulated for Indian skin tones, climate, and preferences. But PAC’s success story is not Bonish’s alone. In 2019, his brother Romil Jain, a Chartered Accountant by profession, joined the business as Co-Director, and his wife Vaishnavi Jain, joined as Head of Product Development that allowed PAC to meet growing national demand.
