Deciem Expands Beyond The Ordinary with Loopha: A New Chapter Under Estée Lauder
Deciem, the company behind The Ordinary, is introducing a new body care brand called Loopha, marking a return to its brand incubation efforts following its acquisition by The Estée Lauder Companies in a $1.7 billion deal. Loopha will launch with two hand and body washes—Broadleaf Forest and Oud & Amber—followed by a third scent, Chalk, in the near future. The new brand focuses on combining fragrance and functionality, representing a shift from The Ordinary’s more minimalist approach to skincare. Deciem is adopting a small-batch, agile production strategy for Loopha, with plans to expand into additional categories like body treatments and pet care. This launch highlights Deciem’s continued innovation under Estée Lauder’s ownership while exploring new product lines.

What Went Wrong with Estée Lauder?
Estée Lauder, once a dominant force in the global beauty industry, faces significant challenges as it navigates a disappointing outlook for 2025. Key issues include a sharp decline in the Chinese market, which heavily impacted the company's performance due to regulatory crackdowns and shifting consumer behaviors. Additionally, strategic missteps, such as an over-reliance on older demographics in the U.S. and slow innovation, have further hampered its market position. Despite these hurdles, Estée Lauder is initiating recovery strategies, including expanding its U.S. presence and embracing online platforms like Amazon to diversify its consumer base and streamline operations.
