Caltius invests in Kiss My Face
The Kiss My Face transaction was referred to Caltius Equity Partners by Lisa Yarnell who will now serve as the CEO of the company and Ron Gordon who will serve as the non-executive Chairman of the Board. Gordon has also worked with the fund on its successful past investment in LaDove.
“Lisa and Ron are both experienced consumer products executives with accomplished track records,” said Michael Morgan, Managing Director of Caltius.
“Kiss My Face enjoys significant unaided brand awareness given its limited distribution and is well positioned to unlock tremendous potential for retailers who want to grow and develop natural product segments in their stores,” said Yarnell.
The natural personal care products brand is sold through natural, mass, grocery, online and specialty retailers including Whole Foods, Wal-Mart, Target, Meijers, Wegmans, Fred Meyer, Stop n’ Shop and drugstore.com.
