Wellness Is the Hot New M&A Target

Wellness is the next frontier for beauty investors.

After Unilever snapped up Nutrafol at a supposed \\$1 billion valuation and Compass Diversified acquired The Honey Pot Co. in a deal with an enterprise value of \\$380 million, investors are looking for the next opportunities in the category.
