- Marico Limited is an Indian fast-moving consumer goods company that manufactures and markets a diverse portfolio of hair care, skin care, and general wellness products. The company offers flagship brands including Parachute, Saffola, and Livon in categories such as coconut hair oils, edible oils, hair serums, and conditioners; skin care products under brands like Kaya and Mediker; and wellness offerings including Livon hair care, Saffola health foods, and personal care items like shampoos and soaps. Marico operates primarily in emerging markets across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, with key presence in India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Malaysia, South Africa, and the MENA region; it was founded in 1990 and maintains its headquarters in Mumbai, India.
Marico's core business segments encompass hair care (leading with coconut oil-based products), oil to food (healthy edible oils and breakfast solutions), beauty and wellness (premium skin and hair treatments), and health and balance solutions (nutritious foods and supplements), targeting urban and rural consumers seeking affordable, natural personal care. The company serves a broad customer base from mass-market families to premium beauty enthusiasts through extensive distribution networks, e-commerce, and retail outlets.
In recent developments, Marico launched new product extensions under Saffola and Livon brands in 2024-2025, expanded its digital-first beauty platform Beardo into international markets, and formed strategic partnerships for sustainable sourcing in Africa; it also completed the acquisition of a minority stake in a Southeast Asian wellness firm in early 2025 to bolster its health foods segment. These moves reflect ongoing portfolio diversification and geographic expansion amid rising demand for natural and premium FMCG products.
