Some beauty companies have reported a slowdown in consumer spending, and Amin said the category is seeing "softness," down 6%. But he stressed that the company's focus on affordability lets it continue to gain market share.
Amin also explained the company's strategy to manage extra costs if the U.S. increases tariffs on goods imported from China, where many of its suppliers are located. He said that production in China has lessened, going from 100% five years ago to under 80% today, and he added that it will continue to decline in the future.
"We faced 25% tariffs on our China goods since 2019," Amin said. "And the way we mitigated those, with a combination of price increases, FX, supplier concessions. We'll do the same this time, and the only other big difference is we continue to diversify our supply chains."
