L'Oreal to up stake in skin care firm Galderma to 20%
L'Oréal raises its stake in Galderma to 20%, securing two board seats and aiming to deepen scientific collaboration in the fast-growing dermatology and aesthetics market.
- On December 8, 2025, L'Oréal Groupe said it will raise its total shareholding in Galderma Group AG to 20% by acquiring an additional 10% from an EQT-led consortium .
- The companies noted their existing scientific partnership launched in August 2024, and L'Oréal said this investment builds on its initial stake to deepen collaboration and support long-term growth in dermatology.
- The purchase will be implemented via an off-market block trade with EQT AB-led sellers including Sunshine SwissCo GmbH, Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Auba Investment Pte Ltd, and the financial terms were not disclosed by the parties.
- Two non-independent directors from L'Oréal will be considered by the Galderma board of directors to replace EQT-led consortium representatives at the 2026 Annual General Meeting, and L'Oréal will consolidate the stake under the equity method.
- Amid a busy M&A year for L'Oréal, which agreed in October to buy Kering SA beauty division for �4 billion , Galderma has a market capitalisation of over $48 billion following its March 2024 IPO.
