The Lacto Calamine range caters to consumer’s oily skincare needs, helping them achieve their clear, matte skin, said Nitish Bajaj, CEO of the company’s consumer products’ division.
On-boarding Dastur as a brand ambassador will help position the brand as a go-to product for daily oily skin care, said Bajaj.
