PEKKO, founded by Ekta Agrawal, Silki Agrawal and ISIPCA Paris-trained perfumer Ally Matthan, shares tea-infused body cleansers, hand scrubs, lotions and bath bars with sensorial formulas designed to make the act of washing hands or showering feel more intentional. The brand's debut collection is organized into three categories—Hand, Bathe and Nourish—plus a curated range for gifting, and two signature fragrances: Geranium or Rainwood.
PEKKO's gentle Geranium Hand Rise matches a plant-derived cleansing complex with a tea antioxidant complex and a naturally forming, tea-derived saponin for a comfortable, creamy wash and skin that feels good afterward. Similarly, the Rainwood Body Cleanser builds on a similar base with a tea saponin and a tea antioxidant complex, plus an emollient-rich lipid comfort complex and glycerin for locked-in moisture.
