Search every verified Tarang Amin interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. Tarang Amin, Chairman, CEO, and President of Elf Beauty, discussed the company's strategic focus on skincare as a growth engine, noting that skincare globally presents a larger opportunity than color cosmetics. He highlighted the company's expansion in this area, including the 2022 launch of Elf Skin and acquisitions such as the $1 billion purchase of Hailey Bieber's Rhode brand in 2025. Amin also addressed pricing strategy, explaining that after a $1 price increase in 2025 led to declining unit sales on some items, the company has tested selective price rollbacks to gauge consumer response and restore volume. In an interview, Amin recounted his initial reluctance to enter the cosmetics industry, citing a crowded and fragmented category, but said he changed his mind after taking a meeting based on his career principle that "it never hurts to have a conversation." He described investing his family's money in Elf Beauty after recognizing its digitally native brand, strong value proposition, and consumer relationships. At the company's 2026 annual meeting, Amin presided over the approval of four proposals, including the election of four class one directors and the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent accounting firm.
