The primary goal of the Beauty Brains is to help you, our readers, become smarter shoppers by educating you about cosmetic products. While most of our posts deal with the science and technology of these products, we will occasionally post about the business side of the beauty industry as well.
So, this post discusses who owns the beauty brands that we’re all so fond of. You just might be surprised when you learn your favorite salon brand comes from the same people who bring you Pantene.
