Conscious Chemist Secures $1.8 Million Led by Atomic Capital
- Conscious Chemist raises $1.8 Million in bridge round led by Atomic Capital
- Funds to expand product lines, strengthen team, and scale operations
- Brand reports 3x revenue growth and strong quick-commerce momentum
Conscious Chemist, a science-led skincare brand, has raised Rs 15 crore (about $1.8 million) in a bridge funding round led by Atomic Capital. First Port Capital and IPV International also participated in the round. This follows the company’s earlier Rs 1 crore debt raise from Recur Club in February 2024. Although the brand appeared on Shark Tank India Season 3, it did not secure funding on the show.
The company plans to use the fresh capital to strengthen its leadership team, expand inventory, boost marketing efforts, and accelerate product innovation. Conscious Chemist is also preparing to enter new categories, including scalp and hair care, as it expands beyond its current skincare portfolio.
Founded in 2021 by Robin Gupta and Prakher Mathur, the brand offers more than 30 active-first skincare products across acne care, sunscreens, cleansers, and serums. Its formulations focus on clinically validated ingredients such as salicylic acid, peptides, ceramides, and retinol.

Over the past year, Conscious Chemist claims to have achieved 3x revenue growth and reached profitability at the CM3 level. The company reports 75% gross margins and a user base of more than 2.5 million customers, with retention rates nearly double the industry average. Quick-commerce platforms like Blinkit, Instamart, and Zepto have played a major role in driving sales, contributing to a threefold surge in growth.
Looking ahead, the brand is targeting an annual revenue run rate (ARR) of Rs 500 crore within the next 24-36 months while maintaining profitability.
