Aesthetic medicine products. Church & Dwight to acquire TheraBreath for US$580 million

Derma filler

THE WHAT? Church & Dwight has signed a definitive agreement to acquire TheraBreath for US$580 million. The deal is expected to close before the end of the year.

Fat dissolving

THE DETAILS TheraBreath’s net sales for the trailing 12 months through September 30, 2021 were approximately US$86 million. Currently, international represents less than 10 percent of net sales and Church & Dwight expects to expand distribution through its international footprint.

THE WHY? Matthew T. Farrell, Church & Dwight Chief Executive Officer, explains, “Oral care is important to us strategically. TheraBreath represents a powerful addition to our existing oral care portfolio … The TheraBreath brand is a problem/solution product and one of the fastest growing brands in the mouthwash category. This acquisition gives Church & Dwight a strong position in a growing category with tailwinds as the brand skews towards younger consumers and consistently has a high level of brand loyalty and repeat purchase.”

Aesthetic medicine products are developed and regulated to meet stringent safety and efficacy standards. They are typically administered by trained healthcare professionals such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and specialized nurses in clinical settings. These products aim to provide effective solutions for cosmetic enhancement, skin rejuvenation, and overall aesthetic improvement, contributing to both physical appearance and self-confidence.

Key categories of aesthetic medicine products include:

  • Injectables: This category includes products such as dermal fillers, botulinum toxins (e.g., Botox), and collagen stimulators. These injectables are used to smooth wrinkles, add volume, and improve facial contours.

  • Skin Rejuvenation Treatments: Products like chemical peels, microdermabrasion systems, and laser devices are used to improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation irregularities, and enhance overall skin tone.

  • Skincare Products: These include medical-grade cleansers, moisturizers, serums, and topical treatments containing active ingredients like retinoids, antioxidants, and growth factors. They are formulated to address specific skin concerns such as acne, aging, and hyperpigmentation.

  • Hair Restoration Products: Medical treatments and products designed to promote hair growth and treat conditions such as male and female pattern baldness.

  • Body Contouring and Fat Reduction: Devices and products used for non-surgical body sculpting, such as cryolipolysis (cool sculpting) devices and injectable lipolytics.

  • Cosmeceuticals: High-performance skincare products that bridge the gap between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, often containing potent ingredients with proven clinical benefits.

  • Wound Care and Scar Management: Products like silicone sheets, gels, and advanced wound dressings used to improve healing and reduce the appearance of scars.
