OUR BRANDS

Four strong brands make up the DOUGLAS Group, and each shares our beauty DNA. Our mission is to make life a little more beautiful every day.

OFFLINE & ONLINE

Online or in the store? There’s no need to forcibly separate such interconnected experiences. With us, beauty shopping is holistic: cross-channel inspiration, a strong assortment and personalised, data-based beauty advice complemented by digital technology. Whether in the store or on your PC, tablet or smartphone: at the DOUGLAS Group, we combine the best of all worlds.

In our around 1,850 stores across Europe, our customers discover more than just the latest and most desired beauty brands and products. They can get professional advice from one of our around 15,000 beauty experts – and at select locations, even exclusive beauty and wellness treatments. Our beauty DNA flows through every inch of our stores. Each location invites shoppers to indulge in a premium shopping experience.

ONLINE SHOP

Beauty shopping after the shop doors close? Not a problem. All of our DOUGLAS Group brands are available online – just visit our online shops or open up the app. Our online assortment is even more extensive than what’s available in-store. And of course, innovation and inspiration are key to our digital offerings as well – for example our AR tool Beauty Mirror and our AI-supported Fragrance Finder.
