Global online beauty and well-being businesses, The Hut Group (THG),continues to expand its portfolio with the acquisition of Christophe Robin, a luxury natural haircare brand.
Established in Paris in 1999 by celebrity colorist Christophe Robin, the brand aims to emphasize a woman’s natural beauty by maintaining scalp health, nourishing hair and protecting color. According to THG, the brand sits within an established and fast-growing segment of the beauty industry and has seen its sales increase by over 40% for each of the last two years.
Christophe Robin products are designed to be kind to the scalp and hair, formulated with over 80% natural ingredients, and are free from parabens, silicone, SLS, oxidants, ammonia and not tested on animals.
The brand also has a strong visual identity linked to its Parisian heritage and epitomizes the notion that French women are renowned around the world for their sophisticated approach to beauty. This identity is used to define a new vision of luxury in hair care, based on “authentic savoir-faire, with a touch of originality.”
With more than 70 products across 10 product ranges, Christophe Robin is stocked in multiple countries including the UK, U.S., Europe and Asia through retailers such as Sephora and Space NK. The brand is also available direct to customers online through www.christophe-robin.com and THG-owned www.lookfantastic.com.
The acquisition represents a further strategic investment in THG’s international Beauty offering. THG is Europe’s largest online retailer of premium beauty products, including MAC, Bobbi Brown, Estée Lauder and Lancôme, through Lookfantastic.com, and also owns a host of luxury beauty brands including ESPA, Mio Skincare, Mama Mio, Eyeko, Grow Gorgeous, Illamasqua and Ameliorate.
