with vast experience in skin care and makeup to lift our prestige brand to the
next level and continue to grow Chantecaille as a leader in natural beauty. I’m
delighted to welcome her to the Beiersdorf Group.”
Emily Coleman, CEO for
Chantecaille, added: “It is a great honor for me to join Chantecaille, a brand
with strong heritage and values. Sylvie Chantecaille founded this wonderful
brand; with all her passion and acumen, she has made it the success it is today.
I feel truly privileged to be part of the next chapter of Chantecaille and am
committed to ensuring more consumers around the world also discover, engage,
and connect with Chantecaille.”
Following the
successful takeover of Coppertone in 2019, Chantecaille is already the second
acquisition in the United States as part of the company’s C.A.R.E.+ strategy. By
acquiring Chantecaille, Beiersdorf bolstered its portfolio in the prestige
beauty segment and strengthened its position, especially in the United States,
China, and Korea.
