Fenty Beauty's Parent Company Is Making Hand Sanitizer to Fight the Coronavirus in France

LVMH (the parent company behind Fenty Beauty and Benefit Cosmetics, among others) is joining the fight against the coronavirus disease, COVID-19. The luxury-goods conglomerate will use its perfume and cosmetics factories to produce hand-sanitizing gels for French hospitals, particularly public hospitals in Paris.

The move was announced by the group on Sunday: "LVMH will use the production lines of its perfume and cosmetic brands . . . to produce large quantities of hydroalcoholic gels from Monday," LVMH said in a statement. "These gels will be delivered free of charge to the health authorities. . . LVMH will continue to honor this commitment for as long as necessary, in connection with the French health authorities."

Starting this week, 12,000 liters of hand-sanitizing gel will be produced at three LVMH factories, which usually make perfumes and cosmetics for Christian Dior, Givenchy, and Guerlain. The gels will aid a nationwide shortage of sanitizing products and hopefully slow down the rapidly spreading disease - which has currently surpassed 5,420 cases in France, with 127 fatalities (as of Sunday, March 15).
