## History

In February 2015, Energizer Holdings announced that it would split into two companies.[6] The original entity, Energizer Holdings, Inc, would be converted to a personal care company and renamed Edgewell Personal Care. The household products and assets would be transferred to a new entity, Energizer SpinCo, Inc, that would then be renamed to (new) Energizer Holdings, Inc.[7] David Hatfield, who was president and CEO of Energizer Personal Care at the time was named CEO of the Edgewell brand.[6]

In January 2018, Edgewell announced it had entered an agreement to acquire luxury men's skincare brand Jack Black for an undisclosed sum.[8] Financial data and analysis company Marketscreener reported the deal to be $90.3 million net of cash.[9] The deal closed in March 2018.[10]

In May 2019, Edgewell announced it would purchase the razor company Harry's, including their female-focused Flamingo brand, for $1.37 billion.[11] In October 2019, Edgewell announced that they were selling their diaper and cat litter disposal businesses to Le Holding Angelcare Inc. for $122.5 million.[12]

The FTC announced on February 3, 2020, that it would seek to block Edgewell from purchasing the startup razor company Harry's on concerns of price manipulation.[13] Edgewell announced on February 10, 2020, that it is terminating its merger agreement with Harry's after the FTC sued to block the $1.37 billion deal.[14]

In September 2020, Edgewell announced it was acquiring the shaving products brand CREMO for an all-cash transaction of $235 million. The acquisition was completed in September 2020.[15][16]

In November 2021, Edgewell announced it had acquired women's body brand Billie in an all-cash transaction at a purchase price $310 million.[17]

In 2022 and 2023, Edgewell issued a recall of some of its Banana Boat sunscreen due to the presence of benzene, a known carcinogen.[18][19][20]

In November 2025, it was announced Edgewell had sold its feminine care business to the Swedish multinational compan, Essity for $340m on a cash and debt-free basis.[21]
