Argentum Apothecary Receives New Round of Funding from Ushopal

Argentum Apothecary, one of the fastest-growing luxury skincare brands from London, has received a new round of financing from China's leading luxury brand management group, Ushopal.

 

Founded by Joy Isaacs in 2011, Argentum is becoming a leading skincare brand in China in the super luxury category through their globally patented formulation based on the work of Nobel Prize-winning scientists. Through Ushopal’s own luxury retail chain, Bonnie&Clyde, this injection of capital will help further propel the brand in Asia and reinforce its footing in the global market.

 

“We have always had a strong connection with China, and we've seen incredible brand growth in the past few years,” said Isaacs. As one of the leading brand management groups in China, we believe the forge of this partnership will shape the future of Argentum in Asia and the world.”

 

After many years of research in the field of dermo-cosmetics, Argentum, a multi-award-winning skincare brand, has formulated a patented fusion of two vital ingredients: silver hydrosol and DNA HP. The result is a natural, ultra-hydrating range of products that improve fine lines, wrinkles and the overall texture of your skin. Inspired by the Chinese philosophy of yin-yang, Argentum balances its ground-breaking science with the psychology of beauty by using symbolism and poetry through their 12 archetypes to inspire beauty through balance.

 

Ushopal Group is China's leading luxury brand management group, partnering and investing in the next generation of luxury brands in the beauty and wellness space. Ushopal also owns the retail chain Bonnie&Clyd, in China as the leading luxury multi-brand beauty retailer. Located in the top tier department stores across China, they work with brands exclusively sold at high-end retail outlets such as
Harrods from London, Le Bon Marché from Paris, Neiman Marcus from New York.

The China-based brand management group announced the completion of a $100 million round of financing with FountainVest and Cathay Capital to support its portfolio expansion in China and the Asia Pacific earlier this year.
