Comments: The Carlyle Group owns Beautycounter and Every Man Jack. Beautycounter has experienced a rapid rise since it was founded in 2011, including its most recent $1 billion valuation as part of its partnership with Carlyle, announced in April 2021. This decision further positions Beautycounter for continued expansion in the clean beauty category.
There is a new leader at the helm for Beautycounter this year as well. Beauty industry veteran Marc Rey joined Beautycounter as its new CEO after most recently serving as CEO and global chief growth officer of Shiseido Americas. Prior to joining Shiseido in 2015, he was senior vice president of Coty North America and president of IDC at L’Oréal USA.
Founder Gregg Renfrew will also grow within the company that she founded as executive chair and chief brand officer. In her new role, Renfrew will expand her work on areas that remain critical to Beautycounter’s mission—and to the industry overall—including community engagement and empowerment, brand innovation and awareness, and social mission and advocacy. At press time, the company is 57% of the way to its goal of 100% recycled, recyclable, refillable reused or compostable packaging by 2025.
Carlyle is a global investment firm that deploys private capital across three business segments: global private equity, global credit and global investment solutions.
