Hourglass Cosmetics is owned by Unilever, which acquired the brand in 2017[3][4][5].
The brand was originally founded in 2004 by Carisa Janes, who remains the CEO of Hourglass, continuing to lead the company and expand its global presence[3][7]. Today, Hourglass is recognized as a luxury, vegan, and cruelty-free beauty brand, distributed in over 2,600 retail locations across 32 countries[7].
After its acquisition, Hourglass became part of the Unilever Prestige portfolio, a collection of high-end beauty brands under Unilever aimed at redefining modern luxury through innovation, purpose, and sustainability[8].
