Chinese beauty brand owner and distributor S'Young Group has acquired luxury French skincare brand EviDenS de Beauté for an undisclosed sum. Barthes will remain as CEO and a minority shareholder, and EviDenS de Beauté will operate as an independent subsidiary with its current leadership team.

Founded in 2007 by Charles-Edouard Barthes, EviDenS de Beauté has worked with S'Young since 2019 to enter Sephora doors throughout China, hire actress Li Ruotong as a local ambassador, and develop marketing strategies across television and social media. EviDenS de Beauté is a luxury skincare brand combining Japan's cutting-edge cosmetic expertise with world-renowned French elegance, loved by consumers worldwide for its anti-aging benefits developed specifically for sensitive skin. With a high-end positioning, the brand's main products range between CNY 1,000 and 3,000, offering various categories such as masks, lotions, creams, essences, sunscreens and anti-aging products. After being acquired by S'Young, EviDenS de Beauté is ready to enter a new strategic development stage in China while maintaining the independent operation and injecting a strong impetus for further success in the global beauty market.

As a preferred Chinese partner for global beauty brands, S'Young has cooperated with more than 30 overseas brands, covering skin care, make-up, personal care, fragrance, health care, and men's grooming. The cooperative brands cover many countries and regions from North America, Europe, and the Middle East, including the French cutting-edge laboratory brand LIERAC, the Italian make-up brand KIKO MILANO, the Finnish national skin care brand LUMENE, and the prestige perfume brand AMOUAGE. In 2019, S'Young reached a strategic partnership with Johnson & Johnson to fully undertake the e-commerce business of 14 brands under Johnson & Johnson in the Chinese market, which turned out to be a great success for Dr. Ci:Labo and Listerine.
