A. History and Development of the Company
ODDITY’s online, direct-to-consumer business was established with a mission to transform the global beauty and wellness market through technology and entrepreneurial thinking. We have rapidly and profitably scaled since our launch of IL MAKIAGE in 2018 in the United States, and believe that today we are the world’s largest online, direct-to-consumer company in the beauty and wellness industry based on revenue.
In 2017 we secured an investment from L Catterton to support the launch of our technology platform and online business in the United States.
In 2020 we expanded our online platform to the U.K., followed by additional markets in continental Europe and Australia. Sales outside of the United States represented approximately 18% of our net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In 2021, we acquired Voyage81, a leader in computer vision, AI-driven imaging, and hyperspectral technology.
In 2022, we launched our second brand, SpoiledChild, as a multicategory wellness brand.
In 2023, we acquired Revela, a Boston-based biotechnology company pioneering pharma-grade technology to discover molecules and formulations for beauty and wellness products. With this acquisition, we established ODDITY LABS and accelerated our investment in biotech, including AI-based molecule discovery.
In 2025, we launched our third brand, METHODIQ, as a medical telehealth platform to deliver high-efficacy treatments at scale.

B.Business Overview
Who We Are
We are a consumer tech platform that is built to transform the global beauty and wellness market. Our technology innovations, world-class physical product range, and compelling brands built to win online have enabled our accelerated global growth by delivering consumers what we believe to be a superior product and experience.
We operate in what we believe is one of the most attractive categories in the world and have built a rapidly scaling model that leads the industry in two powerful secular trends. First, the consumer migration online, where we are already a dominant direct-to-consumer platform. Second, the consumer shift to science-backed products that truly solve their pain points, where our investment in ODDITY LABS positions us to lead in developing high performing ingredients and formulations in the market.
Since launching in the United States in 2018, we have disrupted the way millions of consumers shop for beauty products by bringing them online and transforming their shopping experience, deploying algorithms and machine learning models to deliver a precise product match and seamless shopping experience.
Our online platform supports a portfolio of stand-alone brands and served approximately 68 million users as of December 31, 2025.
Our commitment to innovation through our proprietary technology is matched only by our commitment to developing empowering products of the highest quality, marrying the worlds of technology and physical beauty and wellness products for the benefit of consumers.
In 2023 we acquired Revela, a Boston-based biotechnology company pioneering pharma-grade technology to discover molecules and formulations for beauty and wellness applications. With this acquisition, we established ODDITY LABS to unleash the full force of advanced biotechnology and digital biology, including AI-based molecule discovery, for the development of high performing beauty and wellness products from proprietary molecules. We believe this technology and our accelerated investment has the potential to radically transform our industry for the benefit of consumers, delivering products that solve their toughest pain points.
We believe IL MAKIAGE, our first brand, is the largest online beauty brand in the United States as measured by revenue, with growing presence overseas. SpoiledChild, our second brand, which we launched in 2022, is a multicategory wellness brand. We launched our third brand, METHODIQ, in 2025 as a medical telehealth platform to deliver high-efficacy treatments at scale, starting in dermatology. Our in-house New Ventures brand incubator has a mandate to pursue additional brands and product categories ripe for disruption, including Brand 4, which is currently in development. We believe we can drive significant growth and gain market leadership by developing additional standalone, digitally native brands for future launches.
Our business has a powerful and rare combination of scale, growth, and profitability. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we scaled to $810 million of net revenue, compared to $647 million and $509 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For a breakdown of our net revenue by geography, see Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report.
Our Platform
We are powered by our vision and commitment to revolutionize the beauty and wellness industry through technological innovations and outside thinking. We have built a holistic, end-to-end customer journey, with each of our user touchpoints seeking to enhance and optimize the overall customer experience. Our integrated model aims to eliminate significant friction, bringing discovery, product matching, tutorials, purchase, and repeat engagement under a single platform. It requires significant investments in technology talent, capabilities, and products. Our distinctive approach relative to incumbents is core to our competitive advantage and ability to disrupt the market and gain market share.
● Outsiders by Design. Disrupting a market requires outside thinking. Our organization is built by beauty industry outsiders, who come with fresh thinking, a focus on innovation, and a desire to drive continuous improvement. Our founder-led management team saw an industry ripe for disruption after observing the disconnect between online beauty discovery and offline purchasing behavior. As our name suggests, our corporate DNA values the ability to be unconstrained by historical conventions. We are uncompromising in our mission to make the first move, set the pace for the industry, take big swings, and continuously raise the bar - a wild vision combined with hard work and a hands-on approach.

● Technology First. Our business model is centered on our in-house technology capabilities, with leading expertise in data science, machine learning, and computer vision. We operate a cutting-edge R&D and technology center in Tel Aviv that is fully integrated with our business operations in New York City, and a biotech lab in Boston. Our dedicated workforce includes in-house engineers, data scientists, computer vision experts, and product teams that comprise over 40% of our online platform headcount. Our investments in and focus on recruiting top technology talent is a key component of our strategy, and we expect our technology roadmap will define the future of beauty. We deploy AI and machine learning models across a wide range of front- and back-end operations. These include marketing and customer acquisition, product matching and recommendation, customer experience, and operations. Additionally, we use AI to support molecule discovery and product development at ODDITY LABS. Our computer vision tools support customers in their online experience. These tools allow us to identify skin conditions like acne and hyperpigmentation, track those conditions over time, and anticipate how those conditions will progress.
● Data Drives Our Business. We deploy our technology to better understand customers and anticipate their wants and needs. Our data moat drives all aspects of our business, including revenue, product recommendations, marketing and retargeting, distribution, operations, and development of new products and brands. We bring visitors to our website, turn visitors into users by asking questions and learning about them, then leverage the data we have across the platform to convert them into paying customers and repeat customers. This data is also critical to training our collection of machine learning models which drive the user journey, across acquisition, purchase, and post purchase.
● Superior Product Performance. Our data-centric strategy enables us to create and deliver superior products for our customers. From inception, we construct each brand by thoughtfully leveraging data and employing an exhaustive testing process with our global user base to determine product-market fit and develop ingredients and formulations. In addition to developing products with ingredients available to the broader industry, we are investing in proprietary ingredients with ODDITY LABS, our in-house biotechnology that deploys cutting edge technology, including AI-based molecule discovery, to identify and launch novel ingredients that aim to deliver superior performance and outcomes for consumers.
Our Powerhouse Brands
We build and scale digitally native prestige beauty and wellness brands with strong brand equities off of the ODDITY platform. We launched IL MAKIAGE in the United States in 2018 as an online beauty brand, SpoiledChild in 2022 as an online wellness brand, and METHODIQ in 2025 as a medical telehealth platform. We plan to launch additional brands off of our platform in the future, including Brand 4. Our product portfolio spans categories including face and complexion, skincare, haircare, bodycare, medical grade prescription and OTC products, supplements, color cosmetics, and makeup tools. These products are designed specifically for our direct-to-consumer and online customer base. Products are priced in a range of $20-$100 per item, with higher price points for the more elite performance products in our range. We have made significant R&D investments in support of developing exceptional quality beauty and wellness products that drive adoption, customer loyalty, and repeat purchasing behavior. Our in-house R&D center works directly with our third-party manufacturing partners to develop or identify the precise product formulas that best achieve our stringent data-centric performance and quality criteria.
IL MAKIAGE
IL MAKIAGE is a prestige, digital beauty brand powered by ODDITY’s consumer tech platform, which leverages data science, machine learning and computer vision capabilities to deliver high-quality online experiences for consumers.
IL MAKIAGE defines and builds the future of beauty by using ODDITY’s unparalleled technology to connect people with a superior, painstakingly tested, wide range of beauty products including face and complexion, skin, eyes and brows, and lips.
Since the brand’s launch in 2018, based on our customer surveys, we believe that IL MAKIAGE has converted millions of consumers from shopping for beauty products in stores to making purchases online and disrupted the industry in the process.
SpoiledChild
SpoiledChild is a prestige online-only wellness brand powered by ODDITY’s scalable technology platform, including its AI and machine learning capabilities. SpoiledChild offers a range of superior products and sustainable design including skincare products, haircare products, and supplements.

Empowering a new generation of consumers to redefine the rules of aging, SpoiledChild allows consumers to control their future by offering an individualized approach to age-control.
In addition, SpoiledChild seeks to promote sustainability with its patented refillable packaging, designed to reduce waste.
METHODIQ
METHODIQ is a medical grade telehealth platform that delivers high-efficacy treatments at scale, starting in dermatology. We aim to help users cure their medical issues with fully customized treatments and the highest standards of care, based on precise online diagnosis and without needing to go to the doctor’s office or running the risk of getting lost in a drug store.
The user experience begins with an individualized assessment powered by a suite of computer vision and AI tools that observe visible skin features like acne and dark spots. Users receive continuous care through METHODIQ’s tracking app, which quantifies progress and delivers feedback to promote compliance and success.
METHODIQ addresses skin conditions with a breakthrough and proprietary product line that aims to maximize efficacy, minimize side effects, and deliver a best in class beauty product experience, including scent, texture, and feel.
New Ventures
We established our New Ventures brand incubator in 2019 to support the in-house development of new brands. The New Ventures team operates with the mandate to build brands and their technology products from start to finish, while targeting the most attractive pockets of demand in the global beauty and wellness market. We see an abundance of opportunity to disrupt large categories within the global beauty and wellness markets, where customer satisfaction is low and pain points are high, and where legacy brands with offline distribution and insufficient technology capabilities create a compelling opportunity for us to disrupt.
ODDITY LABS to Power Product Discovery and Development
We established ODDITY LABS to bring biotechnology and AI-based molecule discovery to beauty and wellness. ODDITY LABS is designed to deepen our competitive advantage by supporting the development of proprietary, science-backed, and high performance products for the benefit of consumers all over the world.
ODDITY LABS operates a biotechnology research and development lab in Boston, at the center of biotechnology talent and innovation. We expect that it will power our product innovation for the future, with a focus on the discovery and development of novel products.
ODDITY LABS was formed in April 2023 in conjunction with our acquisition of Revela, a biotechnology company focused on the development of new molecules for beauty and wellness products.
We believe AI-based molecule discovery is a transformative frontier in product development for our industry, driven by the advancements of key enabling technologies including translational biology, organic chemistry, robotics, and AI. The technological approach is already widely used in the field of biotechnology for drug discovery. ODDITY LABS is deploying these capabilities to build a next-generation platform, which we believe will have distinct advantages:
● the ability to discover and develop high-performance products that meet consumer needs at speed and scale;
● the biological pathway mapping data base to understand the mechanisms that drive cellular behavior, supporting future innovation of novel products and solutions;
● the ability to attract world leading talent; and
● the ability to support systematic and repeatable innovation through AI-based molecule discovery.

Seasonality
For a discussion of the seasonality of our business, see the section titled “Item 5.A. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects—Operating Results—Key Factors Affecting Our Performance—Seasonality”.
Sales, Advertising and Marketing
Our sales, advertising and marketing capabilities represent a core and differentiated competency that is essential to the success of the ODDITY platform. We are focused on continuing to acquire new users efficiently, and building brand awareness and a demand generation engine.
We have invested heavily in building a talented in-house marketing team, while also developing proprietary technologies that enable us to build data-driven and highly personalized campaigns that can scale globally on digital platforms.
Our proprietary technologies and robust first-party database enable us to achieve cost-effective and data-driven digital marketing and user acquisition. We also design innovative marketing programs that help increase brand awareness and rely heavily on digital marketing platforms to conduct advertising campaigns.
Supply Chain
ODDITY has built a scalable, efficient, and resilient supply chain to support our operations globally. We source our raw materials, packaging, assembly services, and other products from a diversified base of leading third-party suppliers, selected based on their strengths and areas of expertise, and evaluated against rigorous testing and a mathematically based scoring model to determine which product to launch. We believe that our supplier base has adequate resources and facilities to support our future growth and is robust enough to withstand unforeseen supply interruptions and external market shocks. This approach is distinct from most legacy beauty companies, who are more concentrated across products with a small group of manufacturing partners.
We have implemented a comprehensive supply chain resiliency program designed to ensure uninterrupted supply of our products. This includes engaging redundant suppliers where possible as well as carrying higher levels of inventory. While we have not in the past been affected by significant volatility in the prices of principal raw materials required to make our products, it is possible that price volatility could increase in the future. We believe that we are well-positioned to withstand any reasonably foreseeable supply chain disruptions or pricing fluctuations.
Distribution and Fulfillment
We primarily utilize third parties to warehouse and distribute our products throughout the world. We believe that we have sufficient capacity to support current and reasonably anticipated future requirements. We are continually assessing our fulfillment and distribution network to align our capacity with anticipated regional sales demand and planned expansion into new markets. Additionally, we continually look for opportunities to improve the customer experience and lower costs through the implementation of new processes and technology.
We utilize multiple outbound carriers for customer order fulfillment and distribution across the various markets where we operate. Our shipping carrier network is optimized to achieve targeted delivery times while minimizing costs. We maintain direct relationships with carriers in instances where we believe it will enable us to achieve lower costs.
Our People and Culture
Our people are key to our success. We are a diverse team of beauty industry outsiders by design, committed to using transformative innovation to deliver radically new solutions to our customers.
We work hard to create an environment where our employees feel empowered, and live by our core mantras:
● We’re boldly unconstrained.
● We always outrun.
64
Table of Contents
● We take big swings.
● We win every day.
● We never fit in.
Competition
We believe that our relentless focus on technology and product innovation has helped us create an industry-redefining, digitally native beauty and wellness company. However, the beauty and wellness industry is highly competitive. Consumers have a significant number of options for their beauty and wellness needs. We face competition from beauty and wellness companies throughout the world, including multinational consumer product companies as well as independent brands.
We believe that our ability to compete successfully depends primarily on the following factors:
● continuing to advance our technology platform;
● leveraging our data and AI capabilities;
● maintaining and attracting customers;
● developing and launching new products and transformative brands;
● responding to changing consumer demands in a timely manner;
● maintaining the value and reputation of our brands;
● attracting and retaining a team committed to innovation;
● effectiveness of our products;
● accessible pricing;
● customer service; and
● effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of our advertising and marketing strategies.
Government Regulation
Our products are subject to regulation by the FDA and the FTC in the United States, as well as various other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory authorities, including those in the EU, and other countries in which we operate. These laws and regulations principally relate to the ingredients, proper labeling, advertising, packaging, marketing, manufacture, safety, shipment and disposal of our products. None of our products to date have required FDA approval and as a result the FDA has not approved any of our products.
United States Regulation of Cosmetic Products
The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the “FDCA”), defines cosmetics as articles or components of articles intended for application to the human body to cleanse, beautify, promote attractiveness, or alter the appearance, with the exception of soap. The labeling of cosmetic products is subject to the requirements of the FDCA, the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, the Poison Prevention Packaging Act and other FDA regulations. Cosmetics are not subject to pre-market approval by the FDA; however, certain ingredients, such as color additives, must be pre-approved for the specific intended use of the product and are subject to certain restrictions on their use. For example, the use of dihydroxyacetone as a color additive in self-tanning products must comply with FDA regulations that impose strict limitations on impurities.
65
Table of Contents
If a company has not adequately substantiated the safety of its products or ingredients by, for example, performing appropriate toxicological tests or relying on already available toxicological test data, then a specific warning label is required. The FDA may, by regulation, require other warning statements on certain cosmetic products for specified hazards associated with such products. FDA regulations also prohibit or otherwise restrict the use of certain types of ingredients in cosmetic products.
In addition, the FDA requires that cosmetic labeling and claims be truthful and not misleading. Moreover, cosmetics may not be marketed or labeled for their use in treating, preventing, mitigating, or curing disease or other conditions or in affecting the structure or function of the body, as such claims would render the products to be a drug and subject to regulation as a drug. The FDA has issued warning letters to cosmetic companies alleging improper drug claims regarding their cosmetic products, including, for example, product claims regarding hair growth or preventing hair loss. In addition to FDA requirements, the FTC as well as state consumer protection laws and regulations can subject a cosmetics company to a range of requirements and theories of liability, including similar standards regarding false and misleading product claims, under which FTC or state enforcement or class-action lawsuits may be brought.
Following the implementation of MoCRA in 2022, which amended the FDCA, the FDA has the authority to subject cosmetics manufacturers to more onerous obligations, including adverse event reporting and record retention requirements, safety substantiation requirements, facility registration requirements, and ingredient labeling requirements. MoCRA also granted the FDA new enforcement authorities over cosmetics, such as mandatory recall authority, and will require the FDA to establish GMPs for cosmetics. The FDA monitors compliance of cosmetic products through market surveillance and inspection of cosmetic manufacturers and distributors to ensure that the products are not manufactured under unsanitary conditions, or labeled in a false or misleading manner. Inspections also may arise from consumer or competitor complaints filed with the FDA. In the event the FDA identifies unsanitary conditions, false or misleading labeling, or any other violation of FDA regulation, the FDA may request, or a manufacturer may independently decide to conduct a recall or market withdrawal of a product or to make changes to its manufacturing processes or product formulations or labels.
We also market certain non-prescription drug products, including certain products that are intended to treat acne or be used as sunscreens, which are regulated as OTC drug products by the FDA. Certain OTC drug products are subject to regulation pursuant to the FDA’s “monographs,” which provide rules applicable to each therapeutic category of non-prescription drug, and establish conditions, such as active ingredients, uses (indications), doses, labeling, and testing procedures, under which an OTC drug within that particular category may be generally recognized as a safe and effective (“GRASE”), and therefore can be marketed without obtaining pre-market approval of a new drug application (“NDA”) or abbreviated new drug application (“ANDA”). To be legally marketed, among other things, OTC drug products marketed under an OTC monograph must be manufactured in compliance with the FDA’s GMPs for drug products, and the failure to maintain compliance with these requirements could lead to FDA enforcement action. Moreover, a failure to comply with the OTC monograph requirements could lead the FDA to determine that the drug is not GRASE, and therefore consider it to be both misbranded and an unapproved new drug, which could lead to an FDA enforcement action.
The FTC also regulates and can bring enforcement action against cosmetic companies for deceptive advertising and lack of adequate scientific substantiation for claims. The FTC requires that companies have a reasonable basis to support marketing claims. What constitutes a reasonable basis can vary depending on the strength or type of claim made, or the market in which the claim is made, but objective evidence substantiating the claim is generally required.
The FTC also has specialized requirements for certain types of claims. For example, the FTC’s “Green Guides” regulate how “free-of,” “non-toxic” and similar claims must be framed and substantiated. In addition, the FTC regulates the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising as well as relationships between advertisers and social media content creators pursuant to principles described in the FTC’s Endorsement Guides. The Endorsement Guides provide that an endorsement must reflect the honest opinion of the endorser, based on “bona fide” use of the product, and cannot be used to make a claim about a product that the product’s marketer could not itself legally make. Additionally, companies marketing a product must disclose any material connection between an endorser and the company that consumers would not expect that would affect how consumers evaluate the endorsement. If an advertisement features endorsements from people who achieved exceptional, or even above average, results from using a product, the advertiser must have proof that the endorser’s experience can generally be achieved using the product as described; otherwise, an advertiser must clearly communicate the generally expected results of a product and have a reasonable basis for such representations.
Although the Green Guides and Endorsement Guides do not operate directly with the force of law, they provide guidance about what the FTC generally believes the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTC Act”) requires in the context of using “green” claims and endorsements and testimonials in advertising. Any practices inconsistent with the Green Guides and Endorsement Guides can result in violations of the FTC Act’s proscription against unfair and deceptive practices.

United States Regulation of Dietary Supplements
Dietary Supplements
The FDA has comprehensive authority to regulate dietary supplements, including their composition, labeling and manufacturing. Specifically, the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (“DSHEA”), amended the FDCA to establish a new framework governing dietary supplements, as a category of foods. Dietary supplements are defined in relevant part as a product (other than tobacco) intended to supplement the diet that bears or contains a dietary ingredient, which is defined as a vitamin, mineral, herb or other, botanical, an amino acid, a dietary substance for human use to supplement the diet, or a concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract, or combination of such dietary ingredients. Dietary supplements may not include articles that are approved as new drugs or biologics or that have been authorized for investigation as new drugs or biologics for which substantial clinical investigations have been instituted and made public, unless the article was marketed as a dietary supplement or food prior to such approval or authorization, unless another exemption applies.
Generally, under DSHEA, dietary ingredients that were marketed in the United States before October 15, 1994 may be used in dietary supplements without notifying the FDA and without any premarket review. However, a “new dietary ingredient” (a dietary ingredient that was not marketed in the United States before October 15, 1994) must be the subject of a new dietary ingredient notification submitted to the FDA unless the ingredient has been “present in the food supply as an article used for food in a form in which the food has not been chemically altered.” A new dietary ingredient notification must provide the FDA with evidence of a “history of use or other evidence of safety” establishing that use of the dietary ingredient “will reasonably be expected to be safe.” A new dietary ingredient notification must be submitted to the FDA at least 75 days before the initial marketing of the supplement containing the new dietary ingredient. Even to the extent the new dietary ingredient was present in the food supply prior to October 15, 1994 or is used in conventional foods, if there are any changes to the ingredient’s manufacturing or form as it was present in the food supply at that time or from how it exists in its conventional food form, then the ingredient may also be considered a new dietary ingredient requiring notification. The FDA may not respond to such notification, but no response does not mean the FDA has determined that the ingredient is safe or permissible for use in a dietary supplement. In addition, manufacturers of dietary supplements must ensure that ingredients in their products that are not dietary ingredients comply with all the requirements applicable to conventional foods. For example, fillers and other constituents of the product must be approved as food additives or must be deemed generally recognized as safe for the conditions of use in order to be sold, as described further below.
Dietary supplements are subject to stringent manufacturing requirements, including dietary supplement current GMPs. The FDA has broad authority to enforce the provisions of federal law applicable to dietary supplements, including powers to issue public Warning Letters or Untitled Letters to a company, publicize information about illegal products, detain products intended for import, request a recall of illegal or unsafe products from the market, and request that the Department of Justice initiate a seizure action, an injunction action or a criminal prosecution in the U.S. courts.
Foreign Government Regulation
European Union Regulation of Cosmetic Products
We currently market products that are regulated as cosmetic products in the EU. In the EU, the sale of cosmetic products is regulated under the EU Cosmetics Regulation, setting out the general regulatory framework for finished cosmetic products and their ingredients. The EU Cosmetics Regulation is directly applicable in, and binding on all EU member states and is enforced at the national member state level. Over the years, the EU cosmetics legal regime has been adopted by many countries around the world.
Under the EU Cosmetics Regulation, a “cosmetic product” is defined as “any substance or mixture intended to be placed in contact with the external parts of the human body (epidermis, hair system, nails, lips and external genital organs) or with the teeth and the mucous membranes of the oral cavity with a view exclusively or mainly to cleaning them, perfuming them, changing their appearance, protecting them, keeping them in good condition or correcting body odors.” Consequently, a product is considered to be a cosmetic if it is presented as protecting the skin, maintaining the skin in good condition or improving the appearance of the skin, provided that it is not a medicinal product due to its composition or intended use. By contrast, a substance or mixture intended to be ingested, inhaled, injected or implanted into the human body shall not be considered a cosmetic product, nor shall a product (i) the composition of which is such that it has a significant action on the body through a pharmacological, immunological or metabolic action; or (ii) for which medical claims are made. Legally, such a product is considered a medicinal product, not a cosmetic, in the EU. No test has been determined yet to determine the significance of the effect. A product may fall within the definition of both a cosmetic product and a medicinal product in which case the non-cumulation principle provides that the product will be regulated as a medicinal product (under the Medicinal Products Directive 2001/83/EC).

Generally, there is no requirement for pre-market approval of cosmetic products in the EU. The overarching requirement is that a cosmetic product made available on the EU market must be safe for human health when used under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use. However, centralized notification of all cosmetic products placed on the EU market is required via the EU cosmetic products notification portal (the “CPNP”). The company that is ‘responsible’ for placing a cosmetic product on the EU market (which could be the manufacturer, importer or a third person appointed by the former), referred to as the “responsible person,” is responsible for the safety of their marketed finished cosmetic products (and each of its ingredients), and must ensure that they undergo an appropriate scientific safety assessment before they are sold. Obligations of the responsible person further include:
● Manufacturing cosmetic products in compliance with GMPs.
● Creating and keeping a product information file, for each cosmetic product, including test results that demonstrate the claimed effects for the cosmetic product, and the cosmetic product safety report.
● Registering and submitting information on every product through the CPNP.
● Complying with Regulation (EU) No. 655/2013, which lists common criteria for the justification of claims used in relation to cosmetic products.
● Reporting serious undesirable effects attributable to cosmetics use to national competent authorities and taking corrective measures where required.
Some ingredients used in cosmetic products must undergo rigorous evaluation, including safety assessments and quality testing to make sure that they are safe for use, for example preservatives, and can also be subject to additional procedures such as an authorization by the European Commission and/or prior notification on a separate module of the CPNP, for example nanomaterials. Additionally, the EU Cosmetics Regulation includes a list of ingredients that are prohibited and a list of ingredients that are restricted in cosmetic products (such as DHA). A special database with information on cosmetic substances and ingredients, known as CosIng, enables easy access to data on cosmetic ingredients, including legal requirements and restrictions. We rely on expert consultants for our EU product registrations and review of our labeling for compliance with the EU Cosmetics Regulation.
The EU Cosmetics Regulation requires the manufacture of cosmetic products to comply with GMPs, which is presumed where the manufacture is in accordance with the relevant harmonized standards. In addition, in the labelling, making available on the market and advertising of cosmetic products, text, names, trademarks, pictures and figurative or other signs must not be used to imply that these products have characteristics or functions they do not have; any product claims in labeling must be capable of being substantiated and comply with the aforementioned list of common criteria.
Moreover, in the EU, animal testing is prohibited for finished cosmetic products and their ingredients. Marketing finished cosmetic products and ingredients in the EU which were tested on animals is equally prohibited.
Each member state appoints a competent authority to enforce the EU Cosmetics Regulation in its territory and to cooperate with the other member state authorities and the European Commission. The European Commission is responsible for driving consistency in the way the Cosmetics Regulation is enforced across the EU.
The aforementioned EU rules are generally applicable in the EEA, which consists of the 27 EU member states plus Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland.
U.K. Regulation of Cosmetic Products Following Brexit
The U.K. formally left the EU on January 31, 2020, commonly referred to as “Brexit”. Following the end of a transition period, since January 1, 2021, the U.K. operates under a distinct regulatory regime, and the aforementioned EU laws now only apply to the U.K. in respect of Northern Ireland (as laid out in the Protocol on Ireland and Northern Ireland).
As a consequence, from January 1, 2021, Schedule 34 of the Product Safety and Metrology etc. (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (the “U.K. Cosmetics Regulation”), applies to cosmetic products placed on the market in Great Britain, which includes England, Scotland and Wales. Cosmetic products placed on the market in Northern Ireland are still covered by the EU Cosmetics Regulation.

Data Privacy and Security
We collect, store, use, share, and otherwise process data, some of which contains personal information. Consequently, our business is subject to a number of foreign, federal, state, and local laws, rules, regulations and industry standards governing data privacy and security, including with respect to the collection, storage, use, transmission, sharing, protection, and other processing of personal information and other consumer data. Such laws, rules, and regulations are changing, have differing interpretations, and may be inconsistent between jurisdictions or conflict with other laws, rules or regulations, which may complicate our compliance efforts. In the United States, numerous federal and state laws, rules, and regulations, including data breach notification laws, and federal and state consumer protection laws and regulations (e.g., Section 5 of the FTC Act), that govern the collection, use, disclosure, protection, and other processing of personal information apply to our operations or the operations of our partners. For example, the CCPA, gives California residents expanded rights to access and delete their personal information, opt out of certain personal information sharing, and receive detailed information about how their personal information is used by requiring covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers. Further, the CPRA significantly expands the CCPA, including by introducing additional obligations on covered companies, such as data minimization and storage limitations, and granting additional rights to consumers, such as correction of personal information and additional opt-out rights. Internationally, virtually every jurisdiction in which we operate has established its own data privacy and security legal framework with which we must comply, including but not limited to the EEA, the U.K., and Israel. For example, the GDPR and the UK GDPR impose robust obligations on controllers and processors for the collection, control, use, sharing, disclosure, and other processing of data relating to an identified or identifiable living individual (personal data) and contain documentation and accountability requirements for data protection compliance. Following the effectiveness of Amendment 13, Israel’s data protection regime imposes stricter obligations on organizations processing personal data, including enhanced transparency and accountability, while facing stricter enforcement powers and higher penalties for non-compliance.

To establish, maintain, protect, defend, and enforce our intellectual property rights, we rely on a combination of trademark, patent, copyright and trade secret laws in the United States and certain other jurisdictions, as well as contractual arrangements.
Our primary trademark, IL MAKIAGE, the IL MAKIAGE logo and SpoiledChild have been registered in the United States as well as in numerous foreign jurisdictions, including the EU, the U.K. and Israel. The registrations of our trademarks are effective for varying periods of time and may be renewed periodically provided we comply with all applicable renewal requirements, including, where necessary, the continued use of the trademarks in the applicable jurisdictions in connection with certain goods and services. We may consider pursuing trademark registrations for additional marks and in additional jurisdictions if and to the extent we believe such registrations would be beneficial to our business and cost-effective.
As of December 31, 2025, we have also registered various domain names that we use in the conduct of our business, including oddity.com, ilmakiage.co.il, ilmakiage.com, spoiledchild.com and methodiq.com, as well as other brands, in numerous jurisdictions.
We also enter into, and rely on, confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, contractors, business partners, and other third parties to protect our trade secrets, proprietary technology and other confidential information. We also enter into invention assignment agreements with employees and other third parties who develop intellectual property on our behalf. For information regarding risks related to our intellectual property and technology, please see the section titled “Item 3.D. Key Information—Risk Factors—Risks Related to Information Technology, Intellectual Property and Data Security and Privacy.”
