THE WHAT? Natura &Co is rumored to be considering a sale of The Body Shop, according to a report published by This Is Money.
THE DETAILS The Brazilian beauty behemoth is said to be ‘reviewing options’ after a rocky year. Possible next moves could include selling off under performing brands or a takeover by a private equity firm.
Natura &Co purchased the ethical beauty brand from L’Oréal in 2017 and is poised to relaunch in China later this year after the Asian powerhouse relaxed its animal testing requirement.
THE WHY? While stablemate Aesop posted strong growth in the first half of the year, The Body Shop saw sales plummet 24 percent. A spokesperson for Natura &Co told This Is Money, “We don’t comment on market speculation, but in difficult conditions we are redesigning our structure and reviewing ways of working to be lighter and leaner.”
Injectable aesthetics are popular due to their ability to provide noticeable results with minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures. They are versatile and can be tailored to meet individual aesthetic goals, whether it's enhancing lips, restoring facial volume, or smoothing out wrinkles. However, they should always be administered by qualified professionals to ensure safety and achieve optimal results.
Injectable aesthetics are used to enhance facial features, reduce the signs of aging, and improve overall facial symmetry and appearance.
Key types of injectable aesthetics include:
-
Dermal Fillers: These injectables are used to add volume, fill in wrinkles and folds, and enhance facial contours. They often contain substances like hyaluronic acid, collagen, or calcium hydroxylapatite, which help plump up the skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
-
Botulinum Toxin (Botox): Botulinum toxin injections temporarily relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles and lines to form. It is commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet around the eyes.
-
Collagen Stimulators: These injectables stimulate the body's own collagen production, helping to improve skin texture and firmness over time. Examples include poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) and calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse).
-
Neurotoxin Injections: Besides Botox, other neurotoxins such as Dysport and Xeomin are used similarly to reduce wrinkles and lines.
