People have been using beauty products since the dawn of civilization, and yet the beauty industry has seen more change in the last five years than ever before. Legacy conglomerates like Revlon have been challenged by independent disruptors like Milani and Bubble. The range of strategic buyers has broadened from major stakeholders like L’Oréal, Unilever and The Estée Lauder Companies to traditional consumer goods companies like Church & Dwight and family investment vehicles like Famille C. Celebrities and influencers are clamoring for leveraging their following and building their own beauty businesses.
To examine these changes, we created The Business of Beauty, providing the same kind of agenda-setting coverage that has made BoF the most essential and trusted voice in the global fashion industry for the beauty and wellness space.
Today, we are doubling down on that commitment. We believe the beauty industry needs a modern, globally-minded B2B publication that does more than just cover the news, offering in-depth analysis and advisory-style advice to beauty and wellness professionals around the world.
To lead this initiative, we have chosen veteran beauty journalist Priya Rao as executive editor. In the coming months, working closely with our beauty editor, Rachel Strugatz, Priya will develop an expanded offering of must-read news, analytics features, proprietary research, and events, all focused on the beauty space:
2 dedicated weekly newsletters — This week, we’re introducing a new flagship weekly newsletter published every Monday and written by Priya.
