Battered by the coronavirus pandemic, Alès Groupe, the French beauty product maker whose brands include Phyto and Lierac, has entered into administration proceedings. In a statement, the family-owned group said on July 6 it requested to enter administration in Paris’ commercial court, which approved the measure three days later.
