      <div style="text-align: justify;">Mary Kay Inc., a globally recognized beauty and entrepreneurship company, is marking a series of significant business developments as it evolves its brand, technology and opportunities for the next generation. <br />  &nbsp;</div>    <div style="text-align: justify;">In a statement, Ryan Rogers, Chief Executive Officer of Mary Kay, said:&nbsp;“Mary Kay is entering a new chapter. We are combining investment in technology and scientific research with the personal relationships and community that have long defined our brand. The introduction of Mary Kay My Shop, advances in product innovation and our continued focus on purpose demonstrate the progress of this transformation. With more than six decades of entrepreneurial heritage behind us, we are reshaping how consumers discover, purchase and engage with Mary Kay while creating new avenues for Independent Beauty Consultants to succeed in an increasingly digital marketplace.

This allows consultants to engage customers across in-person, online and social channels. The approach reflects the growing importance of mobile commerce, which now accounts for more than 62% of beauty sales. Consumers can explore the experience through the Mary Kay website.</li>  	<li style="text-align: justify;">Initially introduced in the United States and Germany in 2025, My Shop expanded into Canada, Mexico and Spain during summer 2026, with further international markets being added progressively.</li>  </ul>    <div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>SMARTER, MORE INCLUSIVE BEAUTY INNOVATION</strong></div>    <div style="text-align: justify;">Mary Kay is also advancing its vision of modern beauty with products developed around contemporary lifestyles, including intelligent skin care, more inclusive complexion solutions, expressive makeup and wellness products.</div>    <ul>  	<li style="text-align: justify;">Skin care at the forefront: Mary Kay Clinical Solutions® Barrier Restore 1:1:3 combines fatty acids, ceramides and cholesterol in a patented ratio designed to support the skin barrier.

     <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Celebrated for her strength, courage, and independence, Demi Moore continues to inspire women across the globe. Lancôme proudly welcomes her into its Collective of Global Ambassadors. As an Academy Award–nominated actress, producer, and New York Times bestselling author, she embodies the brand’s belief in choosing optimism at every stage of life—a philosophy central to Lancôme’s mission. <br />   <br />  Renowned for innovation in skincare, makeup, and fragrance, Lancôme thrives on a bold, uplifting spirit rooted in fearless optimism. The brand expresses a uniquely effortless French elegance—refined yet playful—while staying deeply connected to a worldwide community of women who define success on their own terms. <br />   <br />  <strong>A LASTING CREATIVE PRESENCE</strong> <br />  A defining figure in modern culture, Demi Moore has continuously evolved throughout her remarkable five-decade career. From iconic performances in <em>Ghost</em>, <em>A Few Good Men</em>, <em>Indecent Proposal</em>, and <em>G.I. Jane</em> to her recent critically acclaimed role in <em>The Substance</em>, directed by Coralie Fargeat, she has consistently chosen projects that push boundaries and spark transformation. Her performance in <em>The Substance</em> earned major accolades, including a Golden Globe, SAG Award, Critics’ Choice Award, as well as nominations for both a BAFTA and an Academy Award for Best Actress. <br />   <br />  She recently returned for the second season of the popular series <em>Landman</em>, which has already been renewed for a third season on Paramount+. Upcoming projects include <em>I Love Boosters</em>, directed by Boots Riley, which premiered at SXSW in Austin and is set for wide release in May 2026, as well as <em>Strange Arrivals</em>, where she will star alongside Colman Domingo under the direction of Roger Ross Williams. <br />   <br />  Beyond acting, Moore’s work as a producer and bestselling author further cements her influence at the crossroads of creativity, resilience, and self-expression. <br />   <br />  <strong>EMBRACING AUTHENTIC BEAUTY</strong> <br />  Speaking about the collaboration, Moore shared that Lancôme represents beauty that goes far beyond appearances. For her, the brand stands for progress, innovation, and the idea that every woman deserves to feel confident and valued at every stage of life. She views self-acceptance as an ongoing journey and is proud to partner with a brand that celebrates this outlook. To her, beauty is deeply tied to self-care, self-love, and embracing who you are. <br />   <br />  Vania Lacascade, Global Brand President of Lancôme, expressed excitement about the partnership, describing Moore as a trailblazer who has consistently charted her own course with strength and authenticity. She noted that Moore’s perspective on beauty—as a form of empowerment throughout life—perfectly aligns with Lancôme’s values. Her confidence, individuality, and refusal to conform continue to inspire, proving that beauty grows richer with experience rather than fading over time. <br />   <br />  <strong>A NEW ERA IN SKINCARE</strong> <br />  Lancôme’s Absolue Longevity MD marks the brand’s first dermatologist-validated skincare line built on Longevity Integrative Science. Infused with Mitopure, a leading longevity ingredient adapted for topical use, the range introduces a forward-thinking approach to skincare. Structured around three pillars—Anticipate, Intercept, and Reset—it is designed to address visible signs of aging such as firmness, radiance, smoothness, and fine lines, helping maintain a youthful, vibrant appearance over time. Demi Moore will represent the Reset line in her debut campaign for the brand. <br />   <br />  With her strong and authentic voice on feminine empowerment, Moore joins an esteemed group of Lancôme ambassadors, including Zoe Saldaña, Julia Roberts, Olivia Rodrigo, Christy Turlington, Isabella Rossellini, Aya Nakamura, and Vanessa Kirby.</div>
