Clarity Labs, a Gurugram-based personal care brand, has raised over Rs 4 crore in a seed funding round at a pre-money valuation of Rs 20 crore. The round was led by Artha Venture Fund II, along with participation from angel investors.
The company plans to use the fresh funds to accelerate product development, expand into new categories, and strengthen its omnichannel distribution across direct-to-consumer platforms, marketplaces, and quick commerce channels.
Building Simple, Functional Skincare for Daily Use
Founded in November last year by Karan Dokras, Clarity Labs focuses on creating functional, everyday skincare products designed specifically for Indian consumers. The brand aims to offer affordable and easy-to-use solutions that fit naturally into daily routines.
The startup is addressing a common challenge in the Indian personal care market, where there is high product variety but low consistency in usage. Many consumers seek results but struggle to maintain complex skincare routines.
Clarity Labs aims to solve this by offering transparent formulations and performance-driven products, integrating effective treatment into simple, habitual steps.
Expanding Product Range and Distribution
The company’s current portfolio includes products targeting everyday concerns such as anti-acne, de-tan, muscle relief, and sensitive skin care, primarily through its functional soap range.
It launched its flagship soap line, “The BAR,” in March this year and has since expanded its availability across its D2C website, Amazon, and Flipkart.
Going forward, Clarity Labs plans to expand into adjacent wash categories, including hair wash, body wash, and face wash, while continuing to innovate within its core soap category through new variants and formats.
Competitive Landscape
Clarity Labs operates in a competitive segment alongside brands such as DERMATOUCH, Ghar Soaps, Chemist At Play, and Hoop, all of which are focusing on functional and results-driven personal care products.
With this funding, Clarity Labs is looking to strengthen its position in the growing functional personal care market, while building a brand centred on simplicity, trust, and effectiveness.
