Comments:
Sales of cosmetics rose 7.5% to $339 million. The company credited the gain to higher shipments of Sally Hansen nail enamel, lip, Just Feet, and the bleaches and depilatories product lines, as well as higher international sales, which rose 22%. These gains were partially offset by lower shipments in La Cross, NYC New York Color and non-core product lines. According to ACNielsen, the Sally Hansen brand remains the No. 1 brand in the mass market nail care category with a 24.9% share for the year. The company holds the No. 1 market share position in bleaches and depilatories as well.
