On the heels of its purchases of Kate Somerville and Dermalogica, Unilever has announced an agreement to acquire clinical skin care brand Murad.

Murad products have a strong presence in the U.S. through professional salons and spas such as Massage Envy, and specialist retailers such as Sephora, Ulta and Nordstrom; as well as through direct sales. It also has a regional hub for Europe located in the UK, and the brand can be found in over 42 countries, in department stores, pharmacies, spas and salons.
