Divya Malpani founded Skinvest after realising the lack of skincare designed specifically for young, brown Indian skin. Having struggled with severe acne growing up, and later noticing how the same sunscreen reacted differently on diverse skin types during a college trip, she embarked on a two-year journey of research, surveys, and dermatologist-led formulation trials. This led to the launch of Skinvest in 2022, built by a young team passionate about solving real skin concerns. Divya aims to create effective, medical-grade skincare that is transparent, innovative, inclusive, and enjoyable making evidence-based routines accessible to Indian youth.
