Cosmetics

Now that 'normal' life is at a standstill, a real corona industry is emerging: distilleries, breweries and perfume makers are switching to the production of disinfectant alcohol. Even LVHM is replacing perfume bottles with hand gel.

L’Oréal has had a very good 2019: the company achieved its biggest increase in turnover in ten years and also saw its profits increase significantly. The cosmetics group also announced that it has appointed Ilham Kadri, CEO of Belgian chemical company Solvay, to the post of director.

Jan Zijderveld is quitting his role as CEO at cosmetics manufacturer Avon as the previously announced sale of the company to Natura & Co will be completed.

Dutch drugstore chain Etos is to start selling through webshop bol.com. With this move, both Ahold Delhaize subsidiaries are looking to strengthen their synergies.

In the third quarter, Henkel has performed in line with expectations. The German group sent out a profit warning earlier this year, but is now staying in line with its forecasts.

In Antwerp, Chanel has opened its first 'beauty boutique' in the Benelux. The store focuses on experience and offers perfumes, make-up, care products and sunglasses for women and men.
