The successful closing of a $32 million investment round led by Astō Consumer Partners, with co-investment from Amberstone will enable Clean Skin Club to expand its presence in brick-and-mortar retail, enhance its product portfolio, and invest in top-tier talent, marking a significant milestone for the fast-growing brand.
“Clean Skin Club is ushering in a new era of skin care through reimagining the category and delivering straightforward, science-backed solutions that truly work,” said Clayton Christopher, co-founder of Astō Consumer Partners, in a media statement.
“The disruptive brand has amassed a cult-following, ranking as a best-seller on Amazon and breaking through the large, high-growth skin care market,” he explained, adding that “we are inspired by the team’s vision for skin care hygiene and are honored to partner with them in this next stage of growth.”
Noteworthy expansion for the industry
Founded in 2019, Clean Skin Club launched with the mission of addressing unmet needs in skin care. Its flagship product, the Clean Towels XL, became the first dermatologist-approved, single-use, 100% USDA bio-based facial towel, setting a new standard in skin care hygiene.
The brand’s innovation has differentiated it in the crowded skin care space and gained recognition for its ability to improve skin health, reduce oiliness, and alleviate redness and sensitivity.
The company has demonstrated exceptional growth, achieving 150% year-over-year revenue increases and recently entering the retail market with a September launch in Target stores. This development for manufacturers and suppliers in the cosmetics and personal care sector underscores the rising consumer demand for science-backed, sustainable skincare solutions—a growing trend in the industry.
Focus on science and sustainability
Clean Skin Club’s dedication to clinical validation and sustainability has been a cornerstone of its success. “Witnessing the explosive growth and viral reception of our product line-up has been incredibly rewarding,” said Ben-David Imberman, CEO and Co-Founder of Clean Skin Club in a press statement.
“As we further expand into retail and diversify our product portfolio, we are honored to find trusted investment partners that share our unwavering commitment to rigorous testing, clinical validation, and an unyielding pursuit of excellence.”

Further, he added, “with the support of Astō and Amberstone, and their extensive experience with successfully shepherding digitally native businesses into retail, we are excited to reach even more customers.”
For industry stakeholders, the brand’s focus on eco-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free materials aligns with growing consumer preferences for sustainable and ethically produced skin care products. The funding will likely accelerate the introduction of innovative products that blend efficacy with environmental consciousness, creating opportunities for collaboration and supply chain advancements.
