Comments: Fast-growing Rituals Cosmetics said sales soared 22% last year. The company said online sales rose nearly 20% as well.

The company, which was founded in 2000 by 36-year-old Raymond Cloosterman, today has more 10,000 employees in 33 countries, more than 1,100 shops, 3,300 shop-in-shops and five spas.  Last year, Rituals opened 200 stores and added 630 points of sale in luxury department stores. It also opened its first store in Thailand.

“I am so proud that we are becoming a truly international concept where the Netherlands (home market) accounted for 15% of the business,” said Cloosterman. “Despite the challenges of 2023, we were still able to grow with innovative product developments, momentum in refill movement and expanding our footprint within and beyond Europe.”

According to Cloosterman, Rituals isn’t about selling beauty products, “…we are here to make you feel good.”

One way Rituals makes consumers feel good is via its Mind Oasis concept, which focuses on mental relaxation to reduce stress. After debuting in Amsterdam in 2021, Mind Oasis has expanded to Paris, Frankfurt, Barcelona and Antwerp.

Rituals’ feel good attitude also extends to ESG. The company, which became a B Corp at the end of 2021, is determined to reduce emissions by 50% by 2030 and reach Net Zero by 2050. Rituals supports organizations such as Tiny Miracles Foundation, War Child and Super Chill Foundation. On Karma Days, employees at the corporate office volunteer for charitable causes.
