Description: ELF ELF Beauty January 08, 2026

e.l.f. Beauty, Inc. (NYSE:ELF) is a U.S.-based personal-care company that markets cosmetics and skin-care products under the e.l.f. Cosmetics, e.l.f. Skin, Well People, Naturium, and Keys Soulcare brands. Its portfolio spans eye, lip, face, “paw” (nail), and skin-care categories, and the firm distributes through both traditional retail partners and a growing direct-to-consumer (DTC) e-commerce channel.

Since its 2004 founding and the 2016 rebranding from J.A. Cosmetics Holdings, ELF has leveraged a value-priced, “clean-beauty” positioning to capture price-sensitive consumers. In FY 2023 the company reported net revenue of roughly $1.5 billion, representing a 13 % year-over-year increase, with DTC sales accounting for about 40 % of total revenue-an indicator of accelerating online penetration. Gross margins hovered near 78 %, reflecting a lean product mix and efficient supply-chain management.

Key macro drivers for ELF include the continued shift toward affordable, cruelty-free cosmetics, strong e-commerce growth in the personal-care sector, and resilient consumer spending on “self-care” even in a higher-interest-rate environment. For a deeper quantitative dive, the ValueRay platform provides a granular breakdown of ELF’s valuation multiples and forward cash-flow projections.
