From the millennial generation, to the Ageless consumer, to women in emerging markets — shifting demographics are reshaping the prestige beauty landscape. Increased spending power, new shopping habits and preferences, and greater digital and social media engagement are having a profound impact on how we do business.

How are we adapting and modernizing to lead in the global economy?

Flexing Our Strategy

We identify fast-growing areas of opportunity across categories, geographies and channels of distribution and nimbly shift resources as needed.

Managing Complexities

The creative and business acumen of our corporate and brand teams is fueled by expertise across a broad range of disciplines — design, finance, manufacturing, marketing, retail, science, technology.

Thinking Globally

With a focus on cultural relevance we ensure that our products, brand messaging and shopping experiences reflect the desires of consumers wherever they are in the world.

Inventing Locally

We are plugged in where innovation is happening — in places like California, Korea, New York and Paris. With scientists, engineers and product developers in key regions, we benefit from fresh ideas and varied approaches.

Connecting Digitally

The consumer is at the center of the retail journey, and we are providing a seamless experience across multiple channels — from blogs and social platforms to in-store, online and mobile.

Acting Responsibly

We care for people and the environment and act ethically and responsibly in all our business practices. We aspire to foster our heritage of respect and be a positive influence in every community we serve.

We recognize the diversity of the world we live in, and we understand the need to celebrate beauty, not standardize it.
