P&G Beauty and Mielle Organics®, a popular textured hair care brand rooted in natural ingredients, announced that it will join P&G Beauty, pending regulatory approval, further expanding access to healthy hair products and services for Black women around the world.
Mielle Organics has become a leading brand for consumers with textured hair through innovative, technology- driven products, natural ingredients, and inspirational and educational content. Mielle will continue to be led by co-founders Monique and Melvin Rodriguez, as CEO and COO, respectively, and will operate as an independent subsidiary of P&G Beauty.
Q&A
-
Mielle Organics will join the P&G Beauty family, pending regulatory approval. We will operate as an independent subsidiary of P&G.
The operation of Mielle will fundamentally be business as usual. Monique will remain the CEO and Melvin, the COO.
-
The Mielle brand was built on a mission to serve Black women with a high-performance product and natural ingredients. Our entire purpose has been to address need states with effective and innovative solutions, and to build a genuine and supportive community around the natural hair movement.
The response and success of the brand has been beyond our wildest dreams, and we want to ensure that we can continue to meet the consumer demand and to offer her best-in-class innovation. This new partnership will accelerate resourcing and reach to ensure that we never let her down in being able to find and access her products. It will also amplify our ability to invest in our community initiatives, including our Mielle Cares charity aimed at providing resources and support to advance education and economic opportunities in Black and Brown communities.
-
From the moment we stepped into P&G, we saw a diverse team of leaders who share our values and vision for innovation, education and community empowerment, including several Black leaders who play a key role in hair care and the Beauty business. This partnership gives Mielle an opportunity to serve more Black women with the great products and formulas that our community loves, in addition to making an even greater impact in how we give back to the community.
-
It will fundamentally be business as usual. Monique will remain the CEO and Melvin the COO, and they will be surrounded by the incredibly talented Mielle team. We will operate as an independent subsidiary, so we will have the autonomy to run the business as we have, but now with a family of expertise and support where and when we need it.
-
This new partnership allows us to achieve two primary goals.
First, service to our customer has always been the guiding principle of our brand. We firmly believe this partnership will provide immediate resources to help us to make sure our consumers have access to our products in more stores and that we can continue to rapidly innovate. Ultimately, we believe this will mean that the customer can find our full assortment more easily and that we will be able to bring new and unique solutions to Black women more quickly.
Second is our foundational commitment to purpose and community. This new partnership will amp up our reinvestment in the community through Mielle Cares, as both Mielle and P&G have announced we will each be donating $10 million to the charity. This means more resources and ability going to Mielle Cares, which increases the resources and support to advance education and economic opportunities in Black and Brown communities.
-
We are deeply committed to the integrity of the Mielle product and can promise that you can rely on the same highly effective products tomorrow that you use today. We have no plans to change the product.
-
Our vision remains what it has always been – to be the trusted hair care expert for Black women. The friend you can count on for education, advice and highly effective product solutions. This new relationship will bring greater bandwidth. It will allow us to continue to scale quickly with Black women without any missteps that would impact the trust and relationship we’ve built so authentically with our customers. And with Melvin and I at the helm, we know we will continue to build this brand with the passion, integrity and the amazing products we are known for.
-
As Monique and Melvin continue to run the business as they have thus far, and as an independent subsidiary of P&G, the Mielle team will operate as they have and continue to focus on the excellence, customer commitment and integrity that have been the core of our brand since day one nearly nine years ago.
-
The intent of the Mielle Cares charity is to offer resources and support to advance education and economic opportunities in Black and Brown communities. Our greatest hope is to believe in and build up others, in the way that we have been blessed with incredible mentors and advocates. We are thrilled that this partnership will mean $20 million in funding toward that end! Our greatest wish has been to give back to the community who has been so instrumental in the success of Mielle.
