Company overview

82°E is a self-care and skincare brand founded in 2021, offering science-backed products inspired by nature. It is positioned as a contemporary Indian label with global ambitions. Its product range spans cleansers, moisturizers, toners, serums, and sunscreens, developed using natural ingredients and clinically tested formulations designed to suit a wide range of skin types. 82°E entered the premium skincare market in November 2022 with the launch of its first products—the Ashwagandha Bounce moisturizer and Patchouli Glow sunscreen drops. With a focus on simplicity, effectiveness, and joy in self-care, the brand seeks to make wellness a part of everyday life rather than an occasional indulgence.
