Beauty is evolving—and mergers and acquisitions are a big part of why.
 In this episode, we’re going behind the scenes of what really happens when brands are bought, merged, or absorbed into larger portfolios. From growth and global expansion to formula changes, disappearing products, and shifting priorities, we’re talking about how these decisions affect the brands you love—and the people who bring them to life every day.
