Cantarano said: “The combination of AX Beauty’s strong brand foundations and the ambition to scale is a unique opportunity to continue in elevating brand positioning, while also unlocking new avenues for growth.”
American Exchange Group, traditionally an accessories and apparel company, dipped its toes into beauty in 2023 through its acquisition of HatchCollective, which includes NatureWell, Txtur, Orlando Pita Play, Lique and Paint & Petals. It was subsequently rebranded to AX Beauty, before acquiring skin care brand Indie Lee, and aesthetician-founded Urban Skin Rx, in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
