ST. LOUIS, Nov. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Edgewell Personal Care Company (NYSE: EPC) announced today that it has acquired Bulldog Skincare Holdings Limited, a U.K. based men's grooming and skincare products company. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

"As a challenger company in men's grooming, Edgewell has continuously pressed beyond category conventions and leaders, to bring unique innovation to market for the benefit of our customers, consumers, and Edgewell shareholders," said Colin Hutchison, Edgewell's Vice President of Commercial International. "Similarly, Bulldog has created an exciting and fast growing brand, by bringing that same challenger approach to men's skincare, providing differentiated products that focus on a simple straightforward message for men. Bulldog is a natural fit for Edgewell, and this acquisition creates opportunities to expand our personal care portfolio in a growing global category where we can leverage our large geographic footprint."
"We are delighted to be joining Edgewell's fantastic family of brands," said Simon Duffy, Bulldog's Founder.
