    With the power of traditional retail channels waning, German FMCG giant Henkel has acquired a majority stake in three direct-to-consumer beauty brands from Invincible Brands Holdings. The move brings Hello Body, Banana Beauty and Mermaid+Me into the Henkel stable. A purchase price was not disclosed.

    As part of our strategic framework for purposeful growth we pursue value-adding acquisitions to strengthen our businesses. This agreement is a proof point of how we consistently implement our strategy. It is also in line with our objective to strengthen our competitive edge in the area of digitalization by expanding our direct-to-consumer activities,” said Henkel CEO Carsten Knobel.

    All three premium beauty care brand are primarily sold in Europe and address the growing trend of sustainable and clean beauty. HelloBody is active in the skin, body and hair care categories, Mermaid+Me focuses on hair care products. Banana Beauty offers decorative cosmetics such as lipsticks and eyeliners. For the year ended June 2020, the businesses generated total sales of around 100 million euros ($112 million) and employed around 180 people, including an experienced incubator team with a strong track record of launching new D2C brands. The three D2C brands capture more than 1.5 million active consumers and will significantly strengthen Henkel Beauty Care’s digital footprint.
     
    “With this acquisition we will strengthen our portfolio with fast-growing premium brands in attractive categories. Through 1:1 interactions with consumers we will gain valuable insights that will help us to create meaningful innovations for the entire retail business,” said Jens-Martin Schwärzler, EVP and responsible for Henkel’s beauty care business.   

    The remaining 25% stake in the business will stay with the founders of Invincible Brands Holding – Bjoern Keune and Gennadi Tschernow – and private equity fund manager capital D. The founders and existing management team will remain onboard to further expand the existing as well as establishing new businesses.
