Ambani's Reliance Consumer Buys Global Rights to Brylcreem, Toni & Guy
Overview

Reliance Consumer Products Ltd has acquired global rights to heritage personal care brands Brylcreem, Toni & Guy, Badedas, and Matey. The move signals Mukesh Ambani's aggressive push into the international beauty and personal care market, aiming to expand these brands both in India and abroad. This strategic expansion complements RCPL's existing portfolio and rapid revenue growth.

Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (RCPL), the fast-moving consumer goods arm of Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries, has secured global rights for prominent international personal care brands, including Brylcreem, Toni & Guy, and Badedas. The acquisition also encompasses Matey, a UK-based brand specializing in children's personal care. This strategic move aims to bolster RCPL's presence in the burgeoning global beauty and personal care market.

Strategic Brand Acquisition

RCPL stated its intention to expand these acquired brands across both domestic Indian and international territories. The company described the brands as "heritage brands" with established equity, particularly Brylcreem, a British men's grooming staple known for its strong association with masculine hygiene. Toni & Guy, a premium haircare and styling brand, and Badedas, a German brand featuring natural extracts, further diversify RCPL's premium offering.

Expanding the Portfolio

This latest acquisition follows RCPL's earlier purchase of Velvette, an iconic personal care brand from Tamil Nadu. RCPL has also launched its own affordable brands like Glimmer and Get Real. The company's rapid growth is evident, with gross revenue in the December quarter of FY26 jumping 60% year-on-year to ₹5,065 crore. Year-to-date gross revenue has surpassed ₹15,000 crore, nearly double that of the previous fiscal year.

Financial Growth and Future Plans

RCPL now boasts four brands exceeding ₹1,000 crore in sales by Q3 FY26, including its beverage brand Campa and grocery brand Independence. Campa Energy alone has crossed ₹1,000 crore in sales. The company is also investing heavily in infrastructure, allocating ₹40,000 crore for food parks across India, with the first plant scheduled to become operational in March 2026. This expansion is set to significantly enhance manufacturing capacity and cost efficiencies.
