Founded in 2019 by Robin Gupta and Prakher Mathur, Conscious Chemist has rapidly established itself as a trailblazer in the Indian skincare market. Based in Gurgaon, this innovative brand is dedicated to revolutionizing skincare with science-backed solutions, challenging industry myths, and setting new benchmarks for transparency and efficacy.
Conscious Chemist’s founders, Robin Gupta and Prakher Mathur, are committed to creating safe, effective, and eco-friendly skincare products that resonate with both consumers and industry experts. Despite receiving a strong endorsement from a leading influencer and piquing the interest of Shark Vineeta Singh, the brand faced skepticism from the other sharks on Shark Tank India regarding its marketing strategies and growth potential, resulting in no investment.
The brand offers a diverse range of products targeting various skin concerns, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, all while emphasizing safety and environmental responsibility. In November 2023, Conscious Chemist secured a major investment from Inflection Point Ventures, achieving a valuation of approximately ₹16 crores and demonstrating its success in reaching over 300,000 customers.
Although individual sharks like Namita Thapar acknowledged the effectiveness of specific products, concerns about the brand’s marketing approach led to hesitation from Vineeta Singh, Aman Gupta, and Amit Jain. This feedback highlights the importance of a robust marketing strategy in addition to product excellence.
Conscious Chemist’s journey reflects the challenges and opportunities in the skincare industry, emphasizing the need for both innovative products and effective marketing. With recent backing from Inflection Point Ventures, Conscious Chemist is well-positioned for continued growth and success, promising an exciting future for this science-driven skincare brand.
