The skincare industry is filled with products making claims but often falling short on delivery, resulting in consumer frustration with persistent skin concerns like acne and pigmentation.
Conscious Chemist, founded by Robin Gupta and Prakher Mathur, aims to address the lack of science-backed skincare solutions in the market, focusing on effective, ingredient-led formulations.
The brand targets urban millennials and GenZ with a range of products for various skin issues, culminating in a revenue of INR 32 Cr by FY25 and aiming for INR 100 Cr annually.
Conscious Chemist emphasizes the use of clinically validated ingredients and balances efficacy with skin sensitivity in its formulations, challenging the industry's bias against chemicals.
The brand's innovative products, such as Berry Bright Sunscreen and Antioxidant Booster Serum, have gained popularity among customers, with over 1 million served and a successful appearance on Shark Tank India.
With a diversified distribution strategy and educational marketing approach, Conscious Chemist has carved a niche in the skincare market by focusing on informed consumer choices.
Founded by Galgotias University alumni, the brand credits its success to a science-first approach and deep understanding of customer behavior, leveraging both D2C and marketplace sales channels.
Conscious Chemist plans to expand its product line with targeted solutions and geographical reach, aiming to solidify its position as a leading Indian skincare brand with sustainable growth targets.
As the skincare market in India grows rapidly, competition intensifies, with brands like Dot & Key and Minimalist offering similar science-backed products, setting the stage for an ongoing battle between natural and chemical ingredients.
Geographic expansion and educating consumers about skincare science are key priorities for Conscious Chemist, aligning with its vision to become a top skincare brand in India with a focus on high-performance formulations.
