What these companies have in common · written by the model
Eight personal-care names, mostly mass FMCG; only two are beauty-native.
The kept basket combines two beauty-native online players (Nykaa and Ravelcare) and Honasa's Mamaearth with large diversified FMCG personal-care names that include Hindustan Unilever, Marico, Godrej Consumer, Colgate-Palmolive and Emami. The theme is only partly captured: the market-cap weight sits in mass-market franchises rather than in the premium makeup and skincare brands most exposed to young-women demand. Most of the basket fell over the past year even as beauty e-commerce and Mamaearth rose, so the group is not a clean proxy for the trend.

Risks of holding them together
Concentration: Hindustan Unilever and Marico make up about 67% of kept market cap, so basket performance is driven by two mass-market FMCG names rather than premium beauty.
Weak recent momentum: most kept names fell over the past year, and the median 1Y return of -21.9% suggests the premiumisation theme has not yet reached share prices.
Valuation dispersion: Nykaa's P/E of about 385x sits far above the rest of the basket, so the median is more informative than the average.
Data quality: Godrej Consumer shows a beta of 0.0 and Ravelcare has no P/E, so the beta and valuation statistics should be read with caution.
