Business Of Luxury | Private Equity in Beauty & Luxury Business

L Catterton, a private equity firm associated with the luxury conglomerate LVMH, has established a strong presence in the luxury beauty sector through strategic investments. The firm's portfolio is notable for its focus on beauty and personal care brands, demonstrating an expertise in identifying and scaling high-potential companies within this niche. With investments in diverse brands such as Tula, Merit, Oddity, Function of Beauty, The Honest Company, Elemis, Nutrafol, Intercos, and Chinese beauty company Marubi, L Catterton has shown a consistent commitment to the beauty segment of the luxury industry.

Moreover, L Catterton recently launched the Elevate Beauty Fund, which specifically targets early-stage companies in the beauty sector. This fund aims to provide not just financial capital but also strategic partnerships, guiding brands through critical growth phases. The fund typically favors deals ranging from $2 million to $15 million, positioning itself as a catalyst for innovation and expansion in the luxury beauty market.

This strategic focus is exemplified by L Catterton’s recent acquisition of a majority stake in Kiko Milano, a leading player in the global beauty industry with substantial market reach and a robust financial performance. This move is expected to further bolster Kiko Milano’s global presence, especially in the U.S. market, leveraging L Catterton’s extensive experience in scaling consumer brands within the luxury sector.
