StriVectin’s products will become part of Crown’s new Premium Skincare Division and will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Crown Laboratories.

Crown Laboratories is slated to acquire StriVectin from the private equity firm L Catterton. The transaction is expected to close by mid-September and is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. 

StriVectin’s products will become part of Crown’s new Premium Skincare Division and will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Crown Laboratories. StriVectin’s President, Cori Aleardi, will become President and Chief Commercial Officer of Crown and will join the Crown Executive Leadership Team. StriVectin will continue to be based in New York City.

“Partnering with StriVectin is an exciting and significant next step in diversifying and scaling our organization,” says Jeff Bedard, Crown Laboratories CEO, in a statement. “StriVectin has assembled a truly impressive team, a proven business model, and a premier product portfolio that is beloved by its customers. We are particularly excited that Cori will be assuming a senior executive role at Crown, helping to guide the merged businesses, and we think the combined talents of both teams will enable us to accelerate growth across all our product areas. The addition of StriVectin to Crown’s portfolio enriches our focus on partnering with our customers throughout their lifetime skin health journey.”  

Crown is a Hildred Capital Management LLC portfolio company. Other equity sponsors in Crown include Greenspring Associates and Montreux Growth Partners.

“On behalf of Hildred, Greenspring and Montreux, I am delighted to bring Crown and StriVectin together to create a world-class, comprehensive premium skincare portfolio and to welcome Cori and her colleagues to our team,” says David Solomon, Hildred Managing Partner and Chairman of the Board for Crown Laboratories. “Both of these companies are generating impressive growth, and the opportunity for complementary growth between the two organizations is tremendous. The StriVectin portfolio complements Crown’s current skincare offering and expands the combined organization’s potential to grow and drive further product development, which is the heartbeat of any organization.”
