In October 2021, the company released a line of hair care products called MyGlamm Superfoods. The MyGlamm Superfoods line was an instant hit and has since become a top-selling range in India. The Good Glamm Group made history in India in November 2021, when it became the first beauty commerce business to become a unicorn.
