CriticalPoint Partners is pleased to announce that Northwest Cosmetic Laboratories, LLC (“NCL”), a portfolio company of Clearview Capital, has completed the acquisition of Dream Team Beaute, LLC (“Dream Team”). CriticalPoint Partners sourced the proprietary opportunity and facilitated an introduction, recognizing the potential for a valuable strategic partnership.
NCL is a highly-reputable formulator and manufacturer of innovative skincare and color cosmetic products for top beauty brands. Dream Team, a cosmetics formulator of Sun Valley, CA, has experienced rapid growth since its inception in 2013 by providing trend-setting styles to its loyal customer base. Dream Team’s creative and unique expertise in product development will greatly complement the NCL platform, expanding upon existing capabilities and offerings.
“We are very excited to partner with Dream Team, which has a strong reputation for creating unique, fashion-forward products,” said NCL CEO, Matt Bryant. “We have been seeking an acquisition that would complement our brand and bring a new element of innovation. We found these great attributes in Dream Team and its talented founders, Kimberly Clark and Esme Mancia. The prospect of blending their experienced and forward-thinking people with our team will result in cutting-edge cosmetics and unique services that customers will only find in our family of companies. We are thrilled to welcome them and their employees to the NCL team.”
Larry Simon, of Clearview Capital, added, “CriticalPoint Partners listened to what we were seeking for our portfolio company and took the necessary steps to source a perfect fit for NCL. The timing could not have been more ideal and we feel fortunate to have been introduced to Dream Team and to have received CriticalPoint’ s guidance.”
