Thanks Dixiewolf for the cool idea!!!!
The number of mergers and acquisitions that occur in the cosmetics industry is higher than ever before. In fact, over 75% of most department-store cosmetics lines are owned either by Estee Lauder or by L'Oreal. It's the cosmetics-world equivalent of the Hatfields versus the McCoys as these two powerhouse corporations battle for the consumer's attention (and dollars) every day. In an effort to summarize what is revealed about ownership throughout this book, I compiled the list below to show the more notable ownerships, and you may find it quite eye-opening.
Estee Lauder owns Aramis, Aveda, Clinique, Jane, Tommy Hilfiger Fragrances, Bobbi Brown, Prescriptives, M.A.C., Origins, Donna Karan Cosmetics, Jo Malone Perfumes, Bumble & Bumble, Kate Spade Beauty, and Creme de la Mer (Source: www.elcompanies.com).
L'Oreal owns Maybelline, Lancome, Helena Rubinstein, Kiehl's, BioMedic, Vichy, Biotherm, Giorgio Armani Parfums, Ralph Lauren Parfums, Shu Uemura, Ombrelle, Redken, Matrix, Garnier, and La Roche Posay (Source: www.loreal.com).
Procter & Gamble owns Cover Girl, Max Factor, Clairol, Olay, Noxzema, Pantene, and Vidal Sassoon (Source: www.pg.com).
Johnson & Johnson, in the realm of cosmetics and skin care-oriented medical products owns Neutrogena, Aveeno, Clean & Clear, PersaGel, RoC, Retin-A, and Renova (source: www.jnj.com).
Revlon owns Almay and Ultima II (Source: www.revlon.com).
Shiseido owns Cle de Peau, Decleor, NARS, and Sea Breeze (Source: Shiseido Annual Report, March 31, 2002, www.shiseido.co.jp/e/annual/html/anu92000.htm).
Beiersdorf owns La Prairie, Nivea, Basis, Eucerin, and Juvena of Switzerland (Source: www.beiersdorf.com).
