I keep meaning to try that small beauty brand everyone mentions, but by the time I do it usually has thirty products and a loyalty program. Delhicious is not there yet — under 20 SKUs, no noise, each item actually feels like someone thought about why it exists.
It was founded by Zak and Zara, a husband-and-wife team with Indian roots. Their formulations come from old kitchen rituals rather than lab experiments. I received samples to test and kept coming back to two products: the Rich Roots Hair Oil Mist and the Migh-Tea Moisture Balm.
Rich Roots Hair Oil Mist
This one sprays as an actual mist, not a heavy squirt like some oil mists do. I use it on mid-lengths and ends after styling. My hair is over-processed and tends to look parched by Wednesday — this gives it back some life until the next wash.
The blend has argan, olive, rosemary, and sunflower oils. It works well for the lower parts of your hair but I would skip the roots if you have an oily scalp. The texture is light enough that it does not weigh things down.

Migh-Tea Moisture Balm
This is a twist-up stick with shea, sweet almond, candelilla wax, and black tea. It melts on contact and gives instant relief to dry patches. My daughter has eczema on her hands and this has helped the cracked skin there noticeably.
You can use it on face or body. Keep in mind it does contain fragrance — if that irritates your skin you may want to wait for a fragrance-free version. For most people, though, it just works.

The Verdict
Delhicious reads like a serious brand dressed as something fluffy. The pink packaging blends in with everything else on the shelf, but the products inside are considered and effective. Both items I tested earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Scores: Hair Oil Mist 7/10 — great for mid-lengths to ends, skip if you have very oily roots. Moisture Balm 8/10 — solid relief stick, fragrance caveat aside.
FAQ
Is Delhicious a cruelty-free brand?
The source review does not mention cruelty-free status explicitly. Check the brand page for current certification details.
Can I use the Moisture Balm on my face if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, but it contains fragrance which can be an irritant. If your skin reacts to scented products, a fragrance-free option may arrive later.
Does the Hair Oil Mist work on curly hair?
The argan and olive oil blend tames dryness well. It is lightweight enough for most curl patterns when applied to ends rather than roots.
A Note from Lena
I prefer brands that stay small long enough to get things right before scaling. Delhicious feels like it is still in that phase, which makes me trust what I am putting on my skin a little more.
