Bengaluru, January 22, 2024: Deconstruct, a science-backed skincare brand that provides Highly Effective Yet Gentle products has raised ₹65 Cr in a funding round from L’Oréal’s VC fund BOLD; V3 Ventures & DSG Consumer Partners. Existing investors Kalaari Capital and Beenext also participated in the round. This funding follows the brand’s remarkable 1000% growth in FY25, achieving annualized net revenue of ₹200 crore.
Deconstruct’s success stems from its singular vision of offering highly effective yet gentle skincare solutions.

Its beginner-friendly approach ensures that even first-time users feel confident in their skincare choices. For example, their sunscreens are mattifying and gel based, designed for India’s hot and humid climate, addressing one of the major consumer pain points and thus stand apart in a market often dominated by international trends. By championing Beginner-friendly formulations, India-specific insights and ingredient transparency the brand has successfully captured evolving consumer preferences, solidifying its leadership in a competitive skincare market.
The infusion of funds will fuel Deconstruct’s expansion across multiple strategic areas. The brand is set to accelerate product innovation by developing advanced solutions that are not only highly effective but also gentle on the skin, ensuring inclusivity for diverse skin types, including sensitive skin. Deconstruct will also enhance its distribution network by expanding its presence on Quick Commerce platforms improving nationwide accessibility. Additionally, the brand aims to diversify its product portfolio by venturing into new categories while strengthening its leadership in existing segments like sunscreens and serums.
