In the ever-expanding world of beauty and personal care, where flashy marketing often overshadows substance, Garima Singh Chandel is quietly transforming the landscape with a brand built on credibility, science, and results. At just 35, Garima has already made a mark as both AVP of DigiLantern, revolutionizing the digital presence of more than 600 clinics, and Director of Cosmosheer, a cosmeceutical skincare and haircare brand that is rewriting the rules of the industry.
Garima’s journey into entrepreneurship began at the age of 32, sparked by a clear observation: the market was flooded with cosmetic claims, yet patients and consumers were often left disappointed with the actual results. This disconnect between promise and performance became the driving force behind Cosmosheer—a brand that doesn’t chase trends, but delivers dermatologist-formulated, evidence-backed products that genuinely work.
Launched in March 2024 with an initial investment of just ₹5 lakh, Cosmosheer has grown at an extraordinary pace, achieving a turnover of ₹12 crores in less than two years. The brand’s unique approach blends modern dermatology with Indian herbal wisdom, creating formulations powered by active ingredients like Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid, Peptides, Caffeine, and Licorice Extract—each co-developed with dermatologists to ensure maximum safety and efficacy.
What truly sets Cosmosheer apart is its doctor-first philosophy. Instead of competing with medical professionals, the brand works alongside them—providing trusted products for clinical use while also educating consumers to make informed, science-based skincare choices. This dual focus benefits both sides: dermatologists get dependable formulations for their patients, and consumers gain access to the same quality products outside a clinic setting.
Garima’s leadership style is deeply rooted in empathy, purpose, and persistence. She believes that in a market driven by quick wins and viral trends, longevity comes from trust. Breaking into an industry saturated with glamorous packaging and exaggerated promises was no easy feat, but she stayed consistent, letting the results speak for themselves. Her personal philosophy—slow, steady, science-led growth—has shaped Cosmosheer into a brand that’s more than a product line; it’s a movement toward transparency and credibility in Indian skincare.
The inspiration behind Garima’s work doesn’t come from a single figure, but from the dedication of doctors, researchers, and formulation scientists who put patients first. Their commitment to evidence-based solutions mirrors her own and reinforces her belief that product integrity is non-negotiable. Her personality—an uncommon blend of creativity, honesty, and patience—has been instrumental in Cosmosheer’s success. Creativity fuels the brand’s product innovation and packaging design; honesty ensures that every SKU meets the highest standards; patience allows each formula to be perfected without rushing to market.
The road hasn’t been without challenges. Convincing consumers to trust a new brand that avoids exaggerated claims took time and perseverance. Yet, Garima’s learnings from the process are clear: stay true to your values, execute relentlessly, and always listen to genuine feedback. She advises aspiring entrepreneurs to avoid paralysis by over-planning and instead focus on solving a real problem, iterating quickly, and letting the product win the trust of the market.
With a future vision that includes nationwide expansion, a strong direct-to-consumer presence, and technology-driven personalized dermatology care, Cosmosheer is set to redefine how India thinks about skincare. The brand’s upcoming initiatives in R&D promise even more targeted and effective solutions, further strengthening its reputation as a doctor-trusted, patient-loved name in the industry.
Garima’s work has already been recognized, with Cosmosheer winning the Excellence in Cosmeceutical Innovation award at the SMEBiZZ MSME Star Awards 2025. But for her, the real reward is seeing consumers achieve healthier skin and hair without falling prey to marketing gimmicks.
In an industry obsessed with appearances, Garima Singh Chandel stands out as a visionary who understands that true beauty begins with trust—and that trust must be earned, one honest formula at a time.
