How did it Start?

The idea of this intimate hygiene-based start-up came into being in the year 2020 when the sister founders were experiencing issues with male hygiene in their personal lives as well. Because of their fathers, they realize that their fathers were having excessive talcum powder usage just in order to maintain their hygiene.

The founding sisters understood that there are a lot of hygiene issues related to men, however, there are not a lot of companies that are trying to solve these problems faced by men.

The Maloo sisters realize that the issue of intimate hygiene for men has not been discussed in the market at all and someone should step up and take responsibility.
