Clensta

About

Clensta is an Indian personal care and wellness company founded in 2016, originally known for its waterless hygiene technology. The company developed waterless bathing and hygiene products for situations where conventional bathing is difficult, including hospitals, defence personnel, travellers and areas with limited water access. It has since expanded into a broader consumer personal care portfolio covering skincare, haircare, body care, wellness and fragrances. Clensta says its products combine scientific research with natural ingredients and proprietary technologies, including its STAR and CRAN technologies. The company operates primarily through a D2C model while also targeting modern trade, pharmacies and institutional customers. Its current product range includes face care, hair care, body care, sun protection and wellness products. Clensta has raised more than $12 million across multiple funding rounds, including a $9.09 million round in July 2023. Its investors include Capitar Ventures, Keiretsu Capital, Inflection Point Ventures, IAN Fund, Venture Catalysts and other investors.
