Light Up Beauty Enters Functional Wellness with the Launch of Blue Masala Chai
India-based wellness and beauty brand Light Up Beauty has officially expanded its product portfolio into functional teas, launching Blue Masala Chai—a caffeine-free, zero-calorie, zero-sugar Ayurvedic tea made with antioxidant-rich Butterfly Pea Flowers and 6 Ayurvedic spices to boost metabolism and support fat burn.
Formulated with a curated blend of Himalayan-sourced Butterfly Pea Flowers and traditional Indian spices including cinnamon, cardamom, lemongrass, ginger, black pepper, and lemon peel (sourced from 6 different states), the tea delivers the full masala chai experience without sugar crashes, weight gain, or caffeine jitters.
“Masala chai drinkers in India consume 30 kg of sugar and over 1.21 lakh calories yearly, which can harm weight, sugar levels, and gut health. Our Blue Masala Chai promises the same comfort but without the sugar or calories,” says Meenakshi Ganesh, founder of Light Up Beauty.
Rich in antioxidants (10x more than green tea), Butterfly Pea Flowers also support fat burn, skin health, and cholesterol reduction. The launch reflects the brand’s mission to blend Ayurvedic heritage with clean, high-performance wellness products—bringing time-tested Indian ingredients into modern formats for today’s lifestyle.
