Coty has purchased a 60% stake in the company, while Younique’s founders continue to own the remaining 40% of the business.
Upon completion of the deal, Camillo Pane, Coty’s CEO, said: “We are pleased to complete this transaction and partner with Younique to build a leading global e-commerce beauty company.
“We welcome Younique’s employees, presenters and customers to the Coty family.”
