Read MoreHide Full Article
Coty Inc. (COTY - Free Report) is focused on making strategic alliances to fortify its business. Keeping this in mind, the company unveiled the relaunch of Kylie Cosmetics, now formulated using clean and vegan ingredients with a revamped packaging. Although the new products are made using clean ingredients, the items still have high performance and pigment along with long-lasting color. The items do not contain parabens, gluten, animal oils or any other potentially harmful substances.
Notably, customers can shop the launch in-stores across specific retail partners like Harrods and Selfridges in the United Kingdom, Mecca in Australia as well as Douglas in Europe. In the United States, management will relaunch Kylie Cosmetics through the new offering across Ulta Beauty (ULTA - Free Report) stores during August. The launch will be made available on a new direct-to-consumer (DTC) website, which is scheduled to go live on Jul 15, 2021. Markedly, the website will feature Kylie Skin and Kylie Cosmetics items together and will serve as an avenue for new product and collection launches.
We note that Coty and Kylie Jenner unveiled their long-term alliance in January 2020, aimed at further building upon Kylie’s beauty business, which includes Kylie Skin and Kylie Cosmetics. In its last earnings call, management highlighted that Kylie Skin witnessed solid launches in both Russia and France in the brick-and-mortar side. Kylie Jenner is an iconic personality, who has built the world’s most-followed beauty brand. Clearly, Coty’s constant efforts to enhance its ties with the brand bode well.
