Essity has agreed to acquire Kenvue's feminine care business in Brazil for $284 million (approximately SEK 2.7 billion) on a cash and debt-free basis. The acquisition includes the market-leading brands Carefree, Sempre Livre, and o.b., along with related manufacturing equipment.

The deal strengthens Essity's position as a market leader in feminine care in Latin America. For the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2026, the acquired business generated net sales of approximately BRL 800 million (approximately SEK 1.4 billion) with good profitability.

Deal Details

The transaction is structured as an asset purchase from certain Kenvue subsidiaries. It is subject to regulatory approval in Brazil, other customary closing conditions, and the completion of the Kimberly-Clark and Kenvue transaction.

Strategic Context

Ulrika Kolsrud, President and CEO of Essity, stated that the acquisition establishes a strong position in feminine care in Brazil and marks another step in the company's strategy to grow in its most value-creating categories. Brazil represents a significant growth opportunity in hygiene and health, where Essity already holds a leading position in incontinence products with its TENA brand.

Essity is a global player in feminine care, offering sanitary pads, liners, tampons, intimate soaps, intimate wipes, and leakproof apparel under brands such as Libresse, Bodyform, Nana, Saba, Libra, and Nosotras. In February 2026, Essity completed the acquisition of the Carefree, Stayfree, and o.b. brands in North America from Edgewell Personal Care.

Brazil is one of the world's largest hygiene markets and the fourth-largest feminine care market. Essity currently operates a production facility in Jarinu for its TENA brand and has an established presence in Professional Hygiene and Medical Solutions categories in the country.
