Gracie Gottlieb | 8 August, 2023
Allure Beauty Concepts, a performance-driven beauty platform, has announced its official launch as a result of the integration of Allure Labs and Kleen Concepts. By combining the innovative capabilities of both companies, Allure Beauty Concepts aims to become the go-to personal care development and manufacturing partner for leading beauty brands. This strategic move is part of Allure Beauty Concepts' plan to expand its value-added services and bring performance products to market for established, independent, and emerging brands.
To support its growth plans, Allure Beauty Concepts has made significant investments in its people and infrastructure. The skilled team from Kleen Concepts, led by Founder and CEO Grant Russell, has joined forces with the existing executive talent under Allure Labs Founder and CEO Sam Dhatt. Additionally, Thomas Mooy, with extensive experience in the beauty and nutrition industries, has been appointed as CEO, and Pablo Gallo Llorente, with executive experience in leading food and ingredients corporations, has been appointed as CFO.
The combination of Allure Labs and Kleen Concepts creates a leading research and development (R&D) and manufacturing partner for beauty brands. Allure Labs' expertise in innovation and R&D, combined with Kleen Concepts' operational and supply chain excellence, will provide customers with a unique value proposition. This strategic partnership will offer an expanded suite of capabilities, speed-to-market, and geographic reach.
Ian Arons, Partner at TJC, the private equity firm behind the investment in Allure Labs, commented on the platform being built at Allure Beauty Concepts. He stated, "Kleen Concepts is an integral partner to its customers, with a deeply-rooted reputation for quality and complex manufacturing capabilities. The formation of ABC creates a leading R&D and manufacturing partner of scale for established and emerging brands."
Despite the integration, both Allure Labs and Kleen Concepts will continue their daily operations and customer service as usual. Guggenheim Securities, LLC acted as the exclusive financial advisor to TJC on its investment in Allure Labs.
