Very.co.uk's existing beauty range helped the it deliver strong double digit growth in the category in the last six months as self-care, in particular, proved popular during the coronavirus pandemic.

The company confirmed it has plans to launch even more beauty brands in 2021.

Jeremy Stevens, Category Director at The Very Group, said: “During this disruptive time for the beauty industry, we are grateful for the trust brands have put in us to help them access a whole new customer base online. Our customers love the new brands we’ve launched and have shown a real appetite for self-care over recent months, which we expect to continue.

“With the launch of even more industry heavyweights, including Benefit, we are excited about the potential in make-up as our customers have begun to move back towards categories focused on going out.”

Earlier this year, it was announced the shopping giant had returned to profit as sales topped £2bn for the first time in the year ending 30 June 2020.
