What Algotherm does

Algotherm is a French-origin marine skincare brand founded in 1962, now operating in India through Gilbert Jain Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. under parent Herb Island. The company develops and sells marine cosmeceuticals built on 29 identified marine actives and seaweeds harvested primarily from the Brittany Coast of France, including proprietary patented complexes such as ALGOGÈNE[4] (four algae activating 35 youth genes for anti-aging) and ALGOBLANC CX+ (hyperpigmentation reduction). Its product portfolio is organized into nine sub-brands (OCEAN LIFE, OCEAN TIME, OCEAN HYDRA, OCEAN CLEANSE, ALGO BLANC, OCEAN BALANCE, ALGO REGARD, ALGO OCEAN, OCEAN SLIM) spanning face care, body care, and eye care, complemented by professional treatment protocols (Ocean Clean Up, Ocean Youth, Ocean Rejuvenation, Ocean Glow, and the signature Ocean Tech Expert Facial combining marine cosmeceuticals with LED, aqua-peeling, oxygen therapy, and salt air halotherapy).

The business operates a hybrid D2C and B2B model. D2C revenue is generated through algothermindia.com with pan-India delivery, selling 12+ SKUs at premium price points (Rs. 2,800–8,499 per unit). B2B revenue flows through Dermo Ocean Spas, premium beauty salons, skincare clinics, and luxury hospitality partnerships across five continents, including an 8+ year exclusive-style partnership with The Lodhi Hotel in New Delhi. The customer base spans premium skincare consumers, anti-aging seekers, Indian consumers with climate-specific concerns (heat, humidity, pollution), brightening seekers, sensitive skin consumers, and luxury hospitality spa operators. Products are manufactured in France with eco-responsible packaging and supported by clinical efficacy claims (90–100% consumer satisfaction across multiple ranges).

Headcount is 101–250 employees, the company is privately held with no institutional capital raised, and no revenue or ARR figures are disclosed. The Algotherm trademark is globally registered to Herb Island. While the brand has 63+ years of heritage and a defensible ingredient/patent portfolio, the Indian entity is a single-country subsidiary whose scale relative to the global parent cannot be determined from available data, and no AI/ML capabilities are evident in the technology stack.
