Huda Beauty Takes Back Control in a Bold Move

In a significant development, Huda Kattan, the founder and Co-CEO of Huda Beauty, has bought back the equity held by TSG Consumer Partners. This strategic move marks the end of an eight-year partnership that commenced in 2017, when TSG acquired a minority stake in the beauty brand.

This independence signifies a exciting new chapter for Huda Beauty, emphasizing its commitment to product innovation, authenticity, and deeper engagement with a global audience.

In line with its founding principle that “Beauty is Self-Made,” Huda Beauty is set to forge ahead, pushing the boundaries in the beauty landscape.
