The Mumbai-based nutraceutical skincare business announced on Thursday that it has secured ₹35 crores in a seed round from Xentel Investments, a California-based angel investor.
How did Shilpa Rathi Coin the Idea?
Shilpa Rathi, who founded the company in 2020 in the thick of the COVID-19 epidemic, intends to take it global.
“Instead of fostering hiding, we have always supported the concept of rebuilding from inside.” After living with the trauma of acne and oily skin for my entire adult life, I concluded that no matter what you apply to your skin, it cannot provide long-term relief, so my team and I began to carry out this mission of raising awareness and providing solutions to other sufferers,” Shilpa explained.
We have been told our entire lives that eating healthy is the key, yet the skincare business, with its self-serving motives, has affected our thoughts and enslaved us to the nature-harming chemicals of topical care. I am love brings you the grandeur of nourishment in its natural, adulteration-free form and then mixes it with modern science to combat the core problem. Our products do not hurt either humans or the environment.
Our solutions go beyond surface-level application to address the fundamental cause of health from the inside out, with exterior beauty as a subset, and as a result, we study and develop to provide you with the finest. Our products are a pure, clean, science-backed fusion of components gathered from throughout the world, including our abundant home nation, Ireland, Belgium, and Germany, to provide you with complete results.
Following the Government of India’s “Make in India” program, our goods promote entrepreneurship in India by increasing India’s natural extracts and manufacturing sectors, therefore improving India’s economic growth and job possibilities.
