3 Reasons We Love Deepika Padukone’s New Skincare Range

It goes without saying that many popular Bollywood actors have successful careers outside of the film industry. Most entrepreneurs look to expand into adjacent fields after making a name for themselves in one. Some consider this a “backup plan,” while others consider it “good financial planning” to diversify a celebrity’s income streams outside of their primary source of income (the entertainment industry).

Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif each have their own cosmetics lines, Kay and Anomaly, and Alia Bhatt has recently debuted a maternity wear line.

Deepika Padukone has also gotten in on the act, launching her own skincare line, 82°E. The brand’s current offerings are Ashwagandha Bounce, a moisturiser, and Patchouli Glow, a sunscreen in drop form.

Here are three ways Deepika’s new skincare line keeps us from feeling wealthy:

1. Components

Unless you’re a skincare fanatic, you’ve probably never heard of ceramides or sodium hyaluronate, and the only time you’ve seen ashwagandha was on a bottle of chyawanprash. Because there was no buzz surrounding the launch, ordinary people like you and me have little to no idea how the unique combination of ingredients Deepika used can benefit us, and how these products can help us reap those benefits.

2. Names

People from countries where terms like “radiance,” “nourishing cream,” and “revitalising night cream” are more common may be surprised by names like “Ashwagandha Bounce” and “Patchouli Glow.” Actually, the ridiculously extravagant names have served as the punchline to numerous jokes and quips on various social media platforms.

3. Price

If this article is about how Deepika Padukone’s 82°E products make you feel gareeb, the price range must be mentioned. I mean, seriously. Patchouli Glow sunscreen drops range in price from Rs. 1800 to Rs.

To put things in perspective, a typical shot of vodka in a bar is 30 ml. Consider the absurdity of paying $1800 for a bottle of sunscreen the size of a shot glass. Instead of slathering on a thick cream and thinking, “paise vasool hogaye, pure 1800,” use sunscreen drops.

Though it is obvious (and entirely reasonable) that Deepika Padukone wants her new skincare line, 82°E, to appeal to a discerning clientele, the brand’s lack of promotion and relatability leaves much to be desired.
