Introduction
In today’s world of constant heat styling, pollution, and chemical treatments, hair damage has become extremely common. Japanese beauty brand &honey has gained massive popularity for solving exactly this problem through a unique concept—“moisture retention through honey-based care.”
Launched by Japanese company ViCREA in 2018, &honey focuses on restoring hydration in hair using natural ingredients like honey, royal jelly, and botanical oils, making it one of the most loved drugstore haircare brands in Japan. Now available in India.
