Summary

Waldencast is a global beauty and wellness company that owns Obagi Skincare, a physician-dispensed skincare brand, and Milk Makeup, a popular clean beauty brand.

What Happened

Waldencast went public in July 2022 through a SPAC that simultaneously acquired both Obagi Skincare and Milk Makeup in a $1.2 billion deal. Founded by former L'Oréal executive Michel Brousset, the company aims to build a multi-brand beauty platform. The stock has struggled post-merger as the company works to integrate the brands and achieve profitability, trading well below its initial valuation.
