Brand overview
Founded by Deepika Nagasamy in India, Dipsy was created as a response to an industry increasingly driven by quick fixes and short-term promises. Inspired by India and grounded in ingredient integrity, the brand is built on a clear purpose – to create skincare that delivers real, lasting results without compromise. Dipsy reimagines modern Indian skincare by bringing together thoughtful formulation, simplicity, and intention, ensuring that every product reflects both purity and purpose.
Rather than following trends, Dipsy focuses on building trust through carefully considered formulations that respect both the skin and the ingredients used. Each product is designed with longevity in mind, prioritising effectiveness, transparency, and meaningful outcomes over fleeting solutions.
Deepika credits Formula Botanica with providing essential clarity and direction at a crucial stage of her journey. Through the courses, she gained a deeper understanding of how the skincare industry operates, particularly around compliance and regulatory requirements. Most importantly, Formula Botanica helped her learn how to streamline her ideas into viable formulations and business decisions, giving her the confidence to build Dipsy with structure, purpose, and integrity.
