Unilever Ventures Invests in Luna Daily
Unilever Ventures, the venture and growth capital arm of Unilever, has announced its investment in Luna Daily to help fund the brand’s product range expansion.
This financial backing is joined by additional investments from existing partners, including Redrice Ventures and Joyance Partners, along with contributions from new angel investors such as Peanut founder Michelle Kennedy, Feelunique and Indu Co-Founder Aaron Chatterley, Mintel Chair of Beauty & Wellness Jane Henderson, and Dmg Ventures Principal Taos Edmondson.
“I’m thrilled to announce Unilever Ventures as our newest investment partner,” said Katy Cottam, Founder of Luna Daily. “The collaboration will bring their unparalleled global expertise and resources, at such an exciting time for Luna Daily’s growth. This collaboration feels incredibly organic, as we have been in conversations with Unilever Ventures since the inception of Luna Daily. Their support of our vision to cater to all ages & stages of womanhood, including our newest category of motherhood, made this the perfect time to begin our partnership.”
Luna Daily, founded by Katy Cottam and formulated by dermatologists and gynaecologists, is a microbiome-balancing body care brand that enhances its products with its proprietary THERMA-BIOME+ complex. All Luna Daily products maintain a perfect pH balance; they are designed to strengthen, nourish, and protect the skin’s microbiome. Additionally, the products are natural, vegan, and free from soap, allergens, sulfates, and parabens.
“We are excited by how Katy has elevated the consumer experience of body wash and care with her microbiome balancing formulations for all skin,” explained Anna Ohlsson-Baskerville, partner at Unilever Ventures. “She used her own experience to create an offering that cares for women’s bodies in their entirety and for all stages of womanhood. We think that is a powerful and empowering idea. Daily routines have now been transformed into desirable rituals.”
This announcement follows the launch of Luna Daily’s new Motherhood Collection. The range, which is now available at Boots, Cult Beauty, and Sephora, was crafted in collaboration with the Luna Daily Medical Collective of dermatologists, gynaecologists, and a pelvic floor physiotherapist. It includes six clinically tested, performance-focused products designed to support women throughout pregnancy, post-birth, and beyond.
