 PROFILE
If your beauty routine involves products called Dark & Lovely, Gentle Treatment, Magic Shave, or Afro Sheen, you must be a Carson customer. Carson is the world's largest maker of beauty products for consumers of African descent. The company sells more than 100 products -- including hair relaxers and texturizers, hair color, and shaving products -- through mass-market retailers and beauty and barber supply stores. Its products are sold in over 60 countries but primarily in the US. L'Oreal subsidiary L'Oréal USA has purchased Carson, giving it 62% of the African-American hair coloring market and 51% of the women's hair relaxer market.
