Searching for a defunct beauty product business or brand!

I am looking for an established beauty brand that may have gone under or stopped selling their products. The ideal situation would have a brand with products they have developed, somewhat of a social media following, and some additional branding assets like video tutorials, a blog, etc.

This could be a company that is operating but losing cash and looking to pivot or get acquired, a brand that has recently shut it's doors sometime in the last 12 months, or a smaller brand that simply needs growth capital to scale.. K Beauty, C Beauty, J Beauty and US brands are all of interest to us.

We are testing a process to reactivate defunct boutique beauty brands and bring them back to life. .

Thanks!

It's an interesting thesis. Some have done it successfully in Europe. Check Officine Universelle Buly, or the leather brand Fauret Lepage. Shinola in the US is also a good example. You can find a brand that died 50 years ago, and relaunch it from scratch.
