The new business launches with brands such as No7, Liz Earle Beauty Company, Botanics, Soap and Glory, Sleek MakeUP, and YourGoodSkin.
The new company will develop products through sustainable sourcing practices and pledges to achieve at least 50% of its global sales from “healthier, more sustainable” products by 2030.
To celebrate the launch, the company is also releasing its Beautifully Informe report, which “unearths insights into the role that beauty brands play and why beauty matters as well as customers and their shopping behaviors and tomorrow’s trends and drivers predicted to shape the industry”.
No7 Beauty Company will also be positioned to develop omnichannel offerings with WBA retailers and other new and existing retail partners around the world through a direct-to-consumer model, .com sites and mobile apps.
