From WWD Women's Wear Daily

Acquisition is expected to close first quarter 2024; terms, including valuation or purchase price, were not available when the news was announced two days ago.

danielledanielle · ‎12-26-2023

Oof, mixed feelings @itsfi

itsfi · ‎12-26-2023

Same @danielledanielle, same. They acquired Tatcha a few years ago. I can't recall where or from whom I heard this but my understanding is that the Tatcha team stayed the same for the most part, and if that's the case, hoping that is the same for K18.

danielledanielle · ‎12-26-2023

🫣🤞🏽🤞🏽

Right? @itsfi Dermalogica and PC seem like they're doing ok. I'm always worried about a brand being spread too thin, or an overhaul in employees/teams, or just cutting cost in general (discontinued products, reformulations

itsfi · ‎12-26-2023

Definitely @danielledanielle. 🤞 Discontinued products and reformulations are always a concern; add a sale to the mix and those two things are likely to be brought up or considered much more and likely through different lenses. I hope the team at K18 stays on board, with any changes being ones that would enhance the skillsets of those with the brand and strengthen areas that might not have been as well rounded.

Dovetailing on the acquisition news, Unilver also announced (and included a quick sentence at the end of the press release about the acquisition of K18) that it would be selling one of its beauty and personal care groups, one that includes brands like Byoma, Isle of Paradise and Tigi. That transaction is expected to wrap up in mid-2024. For a year (2024) that is / was expected to see less purchase/sale activities in the beauty space, Unilever sure has a full plate for the first half of next year.

Back to K18, have you tried or are you interested in trying the recently released K18 Biomimetic Hairscience DAMAGE SHIELD Protective Conditioner 8.5 oz / 250 mL?

danielledanielle · ‎12-27-2023

No, @itsfi . I haven't tried it yet. I think I recommended it to hubbs, because he's having hair issues, but since we've been away from home, we haven't tried. I've been meaning to work in the hair oil first.

From The Guardian earlier today:

Hermès billionaire plans to leave half of fortune to ex-gardener and cut ties with charity

A descendant of the Hermès luxury handbag empire is engulfed in a public battle with the charitable foundation he founded after reports that he planned to cut its funding and instead adopt his 51-year-old former gardener and bequeath him billions.

Nicolas Puech, 80, a secretive fifth-generation descendant of Thierry Hermès, who founded Hermès in 1837, has begun the legal process of formally adopting the unnamed former gardener and plans to leave him half of his €12bn (£10.3bn) fortune, according to Swiss media reports.

Puech, who has no children, is attempting to cancel a “succession agreement” he agreed with a charity he established in 2011 to fund “the protection and promotion of public debate”.

December 12, 2023 10:29 AM Eastern Standard Time

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Today, Sephora North America announced the names of eight BIPOC brand founders who will join its 2024 Accelerate program, a longstanding brand incubator that supports emerging beauty businesses. Sephora's Accelerate program continues to serve as a pathway to success for many BIPOC-founded and -owned brands, with this year’s cohort spanning the haircare, makeup, skincare, and fragrance categories.

“We are thrilled to reveal the 2024 finalists of the Accelerate program and officially welcome them to the Sephora family”
Post this

Now in its ninth year, the Sephora Accelerate program continues to focus on building a community of innovative, inspirational brand founders in the beauty space; it creates a foundation, network, and ecosystem for brands to launch and thrive. The program features a 360-degree, six-month curriculum with mentorship, merchandising support, grants, and investor connections for all participants, with the opportunity to launch at Sephora North America upon completion.

“We are thrilled to reveal the 2024 finalists of the Accelerate program and officially welcome them to the Sephora family,” shared Kristin Odegaard, Sr. Director, Merchandising Strategy and Business Development at Sephora. “This year, we received more than 800 applications – a record-setting number of applications in Accelerate program history – which we believe is a testament to the unique and differentiated curriculum we’re able to offer, plus the strength of our community. Accelerate continues to serve as a vehicle for discovering, cultivating, and even launching these amazing brands that represent so many of our clients and the world today, while providing meaningful support for growing brands to continue to succeed well beyond the program’s completion.”

Meet the 2024 Sephora Accelerate Cohort, demonstrating leadership in beauty:

Roz Samimi, banuskin – Founded on the belief that acne should never hold you back from safely achieving all your skin care goals, banuskin offers a full range of products formulated for the unique needs of acne-prone skin.

Diipa Buller-Khosla, indē wild – indē wild is a holistic beauty ecosystem rooted in tradition with revolutionary products that marry 5000+-year-old Ayurvedic superfood ingredients with modern chemistry, creating the world's first global Ayurvedistry™ brand.
Katini Yamaoka, Katini Skin – Katini Skin is home to powerful and high-quality facial oils that use wild harvested, natural, and organic flora from around the globe, with a unique focus on hero ingredients that pay tribute to Katini’s cultural heritage across Africa, Japan, and Australia.

Denise Vasi, MAED Beauty – MAED Beauty offers decadent lipcare for daily wear.
Quani Burnett, Soft Rows – Soft Rows is a culturally-inclusive beauty brand, deeply rooted in high-performing, clean solutions that celebrate texture-rich hair.

This year’s program provides participating brands with comprehensive support and tailored guidance from the retailer’s ecosystem of beauty entrepreneurs and experts, as well access to an expanded network of top-notch operational experts and advisors. With a continued focus on building community and collaboration across the beauty industry, the program features weekly content and curriculum that aims to prepare brands for long-term success, with sessions such as Nancy Twine’s (Briogeo) Financial Readiness; Vicky Tsai’s (Tatcha) Brand + Assortment Strategy; Christine Chang + Sarah Lee’s (Glow Recipe) Social Media + Community; and Marketing Sessions with Amy Liu (Tower 28).

The 2024 Accelerate class will also receive access to 1:1 personalized consulting with Front Row and Clarity Media, plus a dedicated advisory team comprised of beauty industry partners, founders from within the Sephora portfolio and financial professionals.

Investment experts include Alicia Sontag, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Prelude Growth Partners; Alisa Carmichael, Partner at VMG Partners; Janet Gurwitch, Operating Partner at Advent International, and more.
Brand Founders + Legacy Partners include Danessa Myricks of Danessa Myricks Beauty, Greg Gonzalez and Joe Cloyes of Youth to the People, Lilli Gordon of First Aid Beauty, Wende Zomnir of Urban Decay + Caliray, and more.

Through this journey, brands will gain the necessary skills and relationships to build and sustain a successful business through consistent, cohesive, and ongoing support backed by digital and in-person resources with content and curriculum directly correlated to helping founders succeed at Sephora.

All 2024 participants applied to the program in Fall 2023. Eligible applicants were required to be at least 18 years old, have a North American-incorporated company, and be in the early stages of development (i.e., not yet widely distributed by others). In selecting finalists, Sephora also considered each brand’s vision, innovation, and current stage of product development.

Leadership reorg at LVMH brings up speculations about succession plans

Article from observer on msn

sarahshter · ‎11-23-2023

Gotta love the nepotism here. I do think they could afford to bring some new ideas and fresh air into the organization but looks like that won't be happening any time soon.

More bad news at Forma, parent company of Morphe

In addition to Forma Brands filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy at the top of 2023, the company behind Morphe has undergone a round of layoffs. In October of 2023, Forma Brands quietly let go of 23 employees, with the decision taking effect immediately. The layoffs spanned across several departments, including social media, creative, marketing, influencer relations, and communications. It’s unknown how many employees are still with the company, but Forma has since begun to outsource work to agencies to bolster its creative and marketing departments.
