Nykaa will take over the distribution and sale operations for Kiehl’s, a brand at the forefront of skincare, body, and haircare innovations infused with natural ingredients. This follows a partnership agreement with L’Oréal, strengthening its already close ties, while advancing Kiehl’s presence in India’s booming luxury beauty sector.
The increased focus on natural ingredients is only due to increased awareness among Indians of the advantages of natural ingredients. This agreement places Kiehl’s present and future expansions, as well as its direct-to-consumer website (Kiehls.in), online platforms, and multi-brand retail distribution under the supervision of Nykaa.
Moreover, the brand will join Nykaa’s omnichannel distribution network, benefiting from its loyal customer base due to increased shopping ease and consumer-centric sales, in addition to a well-set-up logistics network that includes swift delivery services in select cities.
