What Your Favorite Beauty Brands Want You to Know About Tariffs

What Your Favorite Beauty Brands Want You to Know About Tariffs

"I just got my team shirts that say, 'Next week, things chill out,'" says New York-based aesthetician Sofie Pavitt, founder of eponymous skin-care brand Sofie Pavitt Face. It's ironic, of course, in light of the volatile market and current trade war impacting the beauty industry at large. "We don't really know when things will chill out."Chaos doesn't bode well for any kind of business, especially ones reliant on foreign imports that are now being taxed egregiously. While much is uncertain, it's clear this trade war will affect almost every sector of the beauty industry, from makeup to skin care and Botox injections. "I believe nearly every brand will feel some level of impact from the tariffs," predicts Cierra Sherwin, the founder and CEO of First Production Beauty, a beauty consulting company.Here, the people behind some of your favorite brands are sharing what they want you to know about the impact of tariffs on the beauty industry.Experts Featured in This ArticleCharlotte Palermino is the co-founder and chief brand officer of Dieux. Sofie Pavitt is an aesthetician and founder of skin-care brand Sofie Pavitt Face.Agatha Relota Luczo is the founder and CEO of Furtuna Skin.Claire is the co-founder of & Tread Well.Cierra Sherwin is the founder and CEO of First Production Beauty.Robert Schwarcz, MD, is a NYC-based plastic surgeon and aesthetics expert.How Global Trade Tariffs Impact BeautyGenerally speaking, these tariffs affect three key parts of the beauty supply chain: raw materials, manufacturing, and component packaging. Global IngredientsMost beauty brands import raw ingredients - like the oils and plant extracts used in their products - from countries where those ingredients are naturally abundant. For example, skin-care brand Furtuna grows and harvests its ingredients on a regenerative farm in Sicily. Brand founder Agatha Relota Luczo says that U.S. tariffs are a serious concern as they'll impact the cost of bringing these high-quality, potent, wild-forged naturals into the U.S. Pavitt says, despite being a U.S. brand, most of her raw materials are imported from various foreign suppliers. This is the norm for many brands. Simply put, the U.S. doesn't have the infrastructure to grow and harvest skin care, which is why we import it. "To make a [skin-care] ingredient here in the United States, you'd need to find the investment, then the farmland, then grow it, then process it and test it to ensure it's at the same standard," says Palermino. "All of this takes years."Component PackagingBeauty brands are also contending with heavy tariffs on their component packaging - think the metal tip on your lip balm or the airless pump inside your moisturizer. Chinese manufacturers have developed best-in-class packaging technology, which is why beauty brands have come to rely on them almost exclusively. "There are some packaging facilities in the United States, but they don't have the same capabilities as the prices you're seeing coming out of China," says Charlotte Palermino, the co-founder and chief brand officer of skin-care brand Dieux.Again, this problem cannot be solved by onshoring component production. "The TL;DR is that there isn't manufacturing capability in the U.S. to make these components," says Pavitt.International ManufacturingOur injectables, like Botox and filler products, rely on international manufacturing and are thus subject to tariff price increases, too. While it's a household name in the U.S., Botox Cosmetic, a product of Allergan, recently acquired by AbbVie, is produced in Ireland and then imported here. Botox alternatives are international, too. "Dysport, manufactured by Galderma, is primarily produced in Canada, Sweden, Brazil, and France," says NYC-based plastic surgeon Robert Schwarcz, MD. The list goes on and on. It's a similar story for hyaluronic-acid filler products. Beauty tech devices - most manufactured in China - are now subject to super-high import duties, which have already affected prices. Earlier this month, Foreo, the Stockholm-based skin-care device company with manufacturing operations in China, announced a 20 to 30 percent price increase on its products to take effect in late April 2025. What to Know About Pricing In short, tariffs may erode accessibility, making affordable beauty products less affordable. Mass market brands operate on high-volume imports from China and sell at a low price point in the U.S. "So any cost increases resulting from the tariffs are more likely to be passed directly to the consumer," says Sherwin. "As a result, shoppers in this segment may notice pricing shifts sooner than those purchasing from prestige or luxury brands." Translation: Beauty tariffs will impact those with the least spending power.That said, the current sentiment from Pavitt and many other brand founders is to stay calm and keep prices stable. "There's a lot going on, but I don't think it's fair to pass that panic onto a customer yet when we don't know how it's going to shake out," says Pavitt.Claire Loughran, co-founder at & Tread Well, says her pricing plan is to initially try to absorb the increased tax on international imports."That's our goal. And if we do have to make them, we're hopeful that price changes will not be too drastic," she saysThe price of in-office injectables, such as Botox and filler products, also remains unchanged for the time being at many offices. "I'm holding off on making any changes until there's more clarity around the specific tariffs - especially which countries and products are affected," says Dr. Schwratz.It's still too early to tell when we can expect any changes to take effect, but most brands and companies are in a holding pattern until there's more data on how tariffs affect margins. "Early next year is when you'll start to see price differences," predicts Pavitt. "I'm guessing more companies will wait until 2026."So, What Does This Mean?Pivots are happening in real time, and pricing remains precarious. "By the time I answer your question, another tariff could be placed on another good or country," says Palermino.This may lead to less spending. "From a consumer behavior standpoint, we could see people purchasing more selectively or rebuying less frequently," says Shewin.However, Pavitt is confident that the beauty industry will fare better than others. "It's definitely going to raise prices, but I'm slightly hopeful that the beauty industry isn't going to be as crazily impacted as, say, a car company or a handbag company," she says.

VAYK to Acquire Up to $9 million in Time-share Vacation Properties Through Non-Cash Deals

ATLANTA, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Vaycaychella, Inc. (OTC:VAYK) ("VAYK") management announced today the launch of a campaign to acquire time-share properties through non-cash deals. The company has reached an MOU to acquire $90,000 worth of timeshare in a non-cash deal, with the potential to increase the deal size to $9.0 million.Timeshares Resold at Deep DiscountsTimeshares are often underperforming assets for most current owners. Many individuals purchase timeshares during vacation trips, mistakenly believing they will frequently return. However, their initial excitement often fades, leading to underutilization of their timeshare rights. Additionally, they lack the time or expertise to resell their annual rights, while still paying maintenance fees that may increase annually."For these reasons, timeshare rights are resold for cash at deep discounts," said Jason Armstrong, Director of the Board at VAYK. "According to a major resale broker, in 2024, a top Disney Vacation Club (DVC) resort like Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa costs $230 per point when purchased directly from Disney. However, it was resold by this broker at an average price of $151 per point. In other words, it is more than one-third cheaper to resell timeshare."Mutually Beneficial Non-Cash Deals at Fair ValueFull story available on Benzinga.com

POLL: Hey Nintendo Switch 2 players, have you used Game Chat yet?

The Nintendo Switch 2's first week is nearly in the books, and it's been an exciting one to be a gamer, as is any new console launch.But the Switch 2 has been different. Nintendo just confirmed the new handheld console hybrid sold over 3.5 million units in its first four days alone, meaning it's the fastest-selling Nintendo hardware ever globally. That means it's the biggest console launch of all time, too, outpacing the PS5 and PS4 and just about everything else.https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1932620051955270127The Switch 2 is a suped-up Switch 1, but it also comes with a bunch of new features, one of them being Game Chat. Using a USB-C camera, players can get into chats with friends in both voice and video form, and also share screens to broadcast gameplay in the party.It feels like a pretty awesome new piece of tech, but I'm just wondering, has anyone actually used it yet? I haven't had the chance, mainly because only one of the people on my friend list (that I know of) has a Switch 2 already. I was one of the lucky first few people to see Game Chat in action at a special closed-doors event in New York City the week before the Switch 2 launched, and I was pretty blown away by seeing it in action. But now I'm wondering, now that it's out in the wild, who's using the feature.Let us know in the comments below and answer our poll so we can get a better idea of how Game Chat is faring so far.The post POLL: Hey Nintendo Switch 2 players, have you used Game Chat yet? appeared first on Destructoid.
