TOKYO -- Japanese health and beauty group Shiseido said Thursday it will sell three high-end U.S. cosmetics brands to American private equity firm Advent International for $700 million.
All assets belonging to the brands bareMinerals, Buxom and Laura Mercier will be transferred to Advent by the end of the year. This sale marks a major milestone in Shiseido's restructuring push to jettison acquired brands mired in the red and focus resources on the growing skin care business.
