Founded by Sravya Kalyanapu, Mango People Cosmetics is a vegan and cruelty free beauty brand that is powered by Ayurveda and made with the natural goodness of fruits, vegetables and flowers. Sravya Kalyanapu was inspired to launch her brand when she couldn’t find the right shade of nude pink to match her skin tone and started Mango People Cosmetics to help others like her find shades that helped them accentuate their natural beauty.
