TC46 Loves: This homegrown brand, founded by health coach Megha in 2021, has launched candies that are without the bad stuff. The brand started as an all-new, all-natural, all-wonderful way to treat yourself. As a bunch of candy enthusiasts, the team wanted to make the sweets as real and healthy as possible and ditched bright, artificial colours that are made from toxic petroleum-based ingredients. The candy contains added dietary fibre from citrus peels and prebiotic fibres which makes it excellent for your gut health. The brand has a confectionery Chef, Rameet Kaur on board, with over a decade of experience at 5-star hotels. She is a graduate from IHM who specialises in food production, patisserie, gastronomy, and nutrition. Mezmo’s sole objective is to add a little happiness to the world without any worry or guilt. The brand has a range of healthy candies like jellies, lollipops for children and teens that provide the taste and experience of sweet candies but without their unhealthy side effects.

Price: The product comes in a 36g pack with 12 jellies that costs Rs 175 per pack.

Availability: Shop for the products at the brand’s official website or on Amazon.
