The Edgewell Personal Care Company is an American multinational consumer products company headquartered in Shelton, Connecticut.[2] It was formed in 2015 following the corporate spin-off from Energizer Holdings.[3] Edgewell Personal Care was formed by the renaming of the original Energizer Holdings; Energizer's battery business was then spun-off as Energizer Household Products and then renamed Energizer Holdings.[4]

The company owns a number of brands, including Schick, Wilkinson Sword, Playtex, Carefree, Stayfree, Hawaiian Tropic, Banana Boat, Edge, Cremo and Billie.

Edgewell also owns the Wet Ones brand of wet wipes.[5]

History

[edit]

In February 2015, Energizer Holdings announced that it would split into two companies.[6] The original entity, Energizer Holdings, Inc, would be converted to a personal care company and renamed Edgewell Personal Care. The household products and assets would be transferred to a new entity, Energizer SpinCo, Inc, that would then be renamed to (new) Energizer Holdings, Inc.[7] David Hatfield, who was president and CEO of Energizer Personal Care at the time was named CEO of the Edgewell brand.[6]

In January 2018, Edgewell announced it had entered an agreement to acquire luxury men's skincare brand Jack Black for an undisclosed sum.[8] The deal closed in March 2018.[9]

In May 2019, Edgewell announced it would purchase the razor company Harry's, including their female-focused Flamingo brand, for $1.37 billion.[10] In October 2019, Edgewell announced that they were selling their diaper and cat litter disposal businesses to Le Holding Angelcare Inc. for $122.5 million.[11]

The FTC announced on February 3, 2020 that it would seek to block Edgewell from purchasing the startup razor company Harry's on concerns of price manipulation.[12] Edgewell announced on February 10, 2020 that it is terminating its merger agreement with Harry's after the FTC sued to block the $1.37 billion deal.[13]

In September 2020, Edgewell announced it was acquiring the shaving products brand CREMO for an all-cash transaction of $235 million. The acquisition was completed in September 2020. [14][15]

In November 2021, Edgewell announced it had acquired women's body brand Billie in an all-cash transaction at a purchase price $310 million.[16]

In 2022 and 2023, Edgewell issued a recall of some of its Banana Boat sunscreen due to the presence of benzene, a known carcinogen.[17][18][19]
