About Agapi

Situated in Sikkim, we are dedicated to crafting skincare products that uphold the highest ethical standards. Our commitment lies in sourcing ingredients that are not only natural, organic, and cruelty-free but also sustainably derived.
We believe skincare should be a holistic journey, one that encompasses well-being and eco-friendliness. Our mission extends beyond skin care. We are equally passionate about promoting gender equality. Through strategic collaborations with women-led initiatives and organizations in our supply chain, we are actively fostering gender inclusion.

Brand Story

Agapi Sikkim, founded in 2019 by Rinzing of the Bhutia tribe, was born from her commitment to give back to her community in Kabi. After a decade in sales and marketing, she returned to empower local women through sustainable livelihoods. Agapi blends indigenous Himalayan healing plants with modern biotechnology to create cruelty-free, eco-friendly skincare from soaps and bath oils to facial oils and creams. The brand has trained and employed over 300 women, positively impacting 1,500+ lives. Recognized by the Commerce & Industries Dept., Women & Child Commission, and Sikkim State AIDS Control Society, Agapi was also an official vendor for the G20 Summit 2023. Aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals, the brand promotes gender equity, ethical consumerism, and social change, making Agapi more than a skincare brand it is a movement of Himalayan healing and empowerment.
