Beauty Matter’s coverage of 2025’s most strategic deals names Fundamental Brands & Amala among the acquisitions that got it right.
Beauty Matter—one of the beauty industry’s most respected trade publications—published its annual roundup of 2025’s most consequential deals, and Fundamental Brands and Amala Beauty earned a feature placement.
The piece reflects a broader shift in how the industry is moving: away from volume-driven deal-making and toward acquisitions grounded in brand integrity, scalability, and strategic fit.
That’s precisely the lens through which we built our acquisition model.
It’s why, when we identified Amala Beauty as our first portfolio acquisition, we weren’t chasing trends. We acted on the conviction that the category is headed toward the convergence of skincare, clinically-proven formulations, and wellness-rooted rituals.
Amala was already living at that intersection, with established luxury spa partnerships and a formulation philosophy built around nature and efficacy. Notably, that kind of alignment between brand identity and market direction is rare, and it’s the kind of fundamental fit we uncover and act on.
Earning this placement isn’t just an honor. It’s a reflection of the deliberate, disciplined approach we bring to every acquisition decision. We look for brands with strong fundamentals, real revenue, engaged customers, and our belief that our relationships and digital transformation can scale revenues.
How Our Monthly Royalty Distributions Work
At Fundamental Brands, we acquire revenue-producing brands ($2-50 million annually), selected because we see a clear path to significant growth.
Because these brands are already generating revenue, that revenue becomes the source of our contractual monthly royalty payments to investors. We designed this structure so investors start receiving distributions immediately, without waiting for a future sale or declared profits.
Our royalty payments are contractually set and calculated based on the amount invested:
- Targeting monthly annualized distributions capped at 20%, with an 8% annualized minimum.
- Paid monthly, not quarterly or annually.
- Based on the revenue1 generated by our growing portfolio of companies, NOT profits.
- The amount you invest determines your monthly payments

- Although all portfolio companies have revenue as a criterion for acquisition, revenues cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, meeting the minimum distribution amount cannot be guaranteed. All payments, including the minimum, are subject to the availability of revenues and distributable funds, as determined by the Company. ↩︎
