E.L.F. BEAUTY

Putting in the game-changing work doesn't happen overnight. At e.l.f. Beauty, we've learned that real impact means looking to the systems and spaces that shape opportunities. ✨ We're in the business of democratizing access, period. Not just to beauty products, but to boardrooms, playing fields, employee equity and wildest dreams. 💼🏑💸💫 In our fourth annual Impact Report, we share what we've learned and the steps we've taken to create more equitable access--offering a transparent look at how we approach democratizing opportunities. 📋 One approach we've taken is designing products that are truly accessible: 75% of e.l.f. offerings are $10 and under, making high-performing beauty for everyone. 💄 On the leadership side, we launched Change the Board Game, a multi-year initiative to expand access to corporate boards and help diverse candidates prepare for board service. We've also focused on equity within our team. Through our "One Team, One Dream" model, all employees receive annual equity grants and performance-based bonuses. Since our IPO, we've granted $220M outside the C-suite, making e.l.f. one of the few public beauty companies to share ownership widely. 💰 In sports, we've found that elevating women requires intentional partnerships. Collaborating with icons like Billie Jean King and organizations including the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) League and Tottenham Hotspur Women, we've helped create platforms that amplify voices, highlight achievement and foster equity. ⚽ We also celebrate wildest dreams in action, like Amanda Nguyen, whose advocacy, resilience and historic all-female Blue Origin mission inspires the next generation. 🚀 These efforts create meaningful opportunities and celebrate achievement, equity and empowerment at every level. And at the heart of all these efforts is our community, the reason why we do what we do. We're grateful for every voice that champions e.l.f. Together, we're proving that democratizing access isn't just good for business--it's transformative for people, culture and communities everywhere. 🌍 🔗 Read our Impact Report: https://lnkd.in/e-FSVxXj

While many see business as transactions, the addition of rhode to the e.l.f. Beauty family was rooted in interactions--an authentic meeting of two kindred spirits with shared missions. 🚀 We’re incredibly proud to be recognized by WWD Beauty Inc. for the Deal of the Year as we democratize access to the best in beauty for every eye, lip and face. The moment rhode hit SEPHORA, that mission met its momentum. Following its September launch, three rhode products sold every three seconds--a testament to the kind of connection that happens when you tune into your community and build with them. Since day one, we felt an undeniable alignment between e.l.f. Beauty and rhode. Bold disruptors with kind hearts, purpose-powered and community-led. We saw in rhode what we value most: a belief in rewriting the rules, moving at e.l.f. speed and remaining zero distance from our community. Our portfolio of six brands is rooted in the idea that you can shake the table while still making sure there’s a seat for everyone at it. Thank you to WWD for this honor and its reflection of what’s possible when we come together with shared purpose and a deep commitment to the communities we serve. Thank you to our teams whose heart, hustle and hunger made this possible. And to our community, thank you for pushing us to lead with purpose and passion every e.l.f.ing day. 💗

e.l.f. Beauty is having an eyes.lips.finally. moment today: We’re officially launching in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), exclusively with SEPHORA. 🎉 Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE now have in-store access to e.l.f. Cosmetics, with both e.l.f. Cosmetics and e.l.f. SKIN available to shop online. 💄 What guided us here wasn’t guesswork--it was our community. One of our biggest learnings in global expansion is that paying attention to people matters. And in the GCC, the demand from our community was clear long before products ever hit shelves: 📣 The GCC has been the number one most requested region for e.l.f. among markets without a retail presence.  📈 Search interest and social mentions have risen by 38% across the region, according to Google Trends. It's why we pay attention when our community sends out a signal, because they inspire and inform everything we do. 💖 e.l.f. is committed to delighting the local community, not just with premium-quality products at extraordinary prices, but by showing up meaningfully in the market. Our eyes.lips.finally. campaign can be seen across Dubai’s Golden Boulevard, digital takeovers in Dubai Mall and through our partnership with Sephora. 📍 We’re proud to bring the best of beauty to every eye, lip and face across the GCC and to continue learning from the community that led us here. ✨

As the 2025 National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) Championship kicks off, we’re reflecting on what year one of our partnership taught us. ⚽️ At e.l.f. Beauty, we didn’t step onto the pitch for fanfare--we showed up to practice our purpose: empowering.legendary.females. We made space to listen, learn and show up for a community that’s long deserved more visibility and investment. It’s what inspired our first-of-its-kind partnership with the NWSL and why we’ll keep looking for ways to amplify women’s sports. 💪 It also reminds us that when you build with community at the center, you don’t just activate--you create access, belonging and belief that extends far and wide. The biggest takeaway: Purpose works best when it’s practiced. From expanding representation with our four stars--Melanie Barcenas, Abby Dahlkemper, Lo'eau LaBonta and Jaedyn Shaw--to opening doors for the next generation with our Glow for Glory competition, we saw how heart paired with action can spark long-term impact. ❤️ For anyone watching the momentum in women’s sports, the opportunity isn’t just in the spotlight. Real progress comes from consistent investment in the athletes, fans and future leaders who power the sport forward. 🏆 If year one taught us anything, it’s that this is more than a partnership. It’s a movement to uplift women’s sports and one we’re committed to nurturing for the long run. 🚀

This weekend reminded us just how powerful it is when young women have space to dream, create and connect. ✨💭🔗 At Sunniefest in Dallas, girls gathered not to be told who they should become, but to explore who they already are. The festival included workshops and fireside chats where they could see that confidence isn’t a mask, but something shared. 💕 e.l.f. Beauty was honored to stand beside our partners at Hello Sunshine for a fan activation. We brought our Give an e.l.f. campaign to spark honest conversations about what each attendee gives an e.l.f.  about, and invited everyone to decorate their own Caboodles, discover products and connect with their own spark. ✨💄🎨 In a world that often demands perfection, Sunniefest offered something more real: a place to belong and a glimpse into the bold, bright future this generation is already shaping. 🌟🔮

Experience matters--especially when it’s paired with a commitment to representation. In e.l.f. Beauty's latest installment of Change the Board Game Board Stories, we highlight Rob Smith, a retail industry veteran with 40 years of experience in the retail industry and over a decade-long board career. As a leader focused on inclusivity, Rob welcomes diverse perspectives and encourages others to do the same in the boardroom. He also shares candid reflections on how his lived experiences shaped his leadership and how his mentors and allies helped him navigate the challenges of corporate boards. One key lesson Rob learned? Boards must reflect the communities and customers they serve. Early in his board journey, he encountered a board that didn’t, so he worked to ensure that diversity and representation became a core priority, creating more meaningful impact and better business outcomes. In 10 years, the business doubled in size under a more dynamic and diverse corporate board. Rob’s story is a powerful reminder that lived experience, inclusion and authenticity aren’t just values. They’re strategic advantages. 🔗 Learn more about the coalition and how to join at ChangetheBoardGame.com 

What does kindness sound like? 👂 We went on a little sound journey with our friends at Beekman 1802, kindness.org and the Sonic Institute to find out. 🔍 Together with Dr. Brent Ridge, MD, Dr. Oliver Scott Curry and Adrian DiMatteo, we explored how certain sounds can shift your mood, calm your mind and open your heart. ✨ When we talk about the sound of kindness, it's really about how connection feels when we show up for each other with care. 💗 Our biggest learning moment? Dr. Curry, Research Director at kindness.org, noted that workplaces with kindness embedded within their culture have a happier workforce. 😊 "Lots of research has shown that kinder companies do better. They have happier employees and kindness is good for the bottom line," he said. 📈 So kindness isn't just something you can see, hear or do—it's something you can feel. 💫 At e.l.f. Beauty, kindness is central to everything we do. It guides our vision to create a different kind of company that connects communities through positivity, inclusivity and accessibility. 🌈 Because when we listen with kindness, we make space for more empathy, more joy and more e.l.f.ing positivity in the world--for every eye, lip and face. 👁️👄👩 So go ahead, turn up the volume on kindness. 🔊
