Filorga is a French skin care brand founded in 1978 by a doctor working in aesthetic medicine, whose products draw on the ingredients used in injectable treatments. Colgate-Palmolive acquired it in 2019 for about €1.5 billion, its largest purchase in skin health.
Sentences about Filorga from Colgate-Palmolive's latest annual filing[1], copied word for word.
Given lower than expected category growth rates and weaker than expected performance, particularly in China, we have lowered our outlook for the skin health business, primarily Filorga.
As a result of the interim impairment test, the Company concluded that the carrying value of the Filorga trademark and customer relationships exceeded their estimated fair values and recorded impairment charges of $244 and $93, respectively, reducing their combined carrying values to an immaterial amount as of December 31, 2025.
After adjusting the carrying values of the Filorga trademark and customer relationship intangible assets, the Company completed a quantitative impairment test for goodwill and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $582 in the skin health reporting unit, reducing the carrying value of goodwill to $51 as of December 31, 2025.
A plain count of the times the name appears in the text of each annual report, not counting the start of a sentence. A brand that an owner writes about more is usually one it treats as central. The brand is named less often than it was three years earlier.
The USPTO record for the Filorga mark lists LABORATOIRES FILORGA COSMETIQUES as the owner of record (serial number 79330120). A trademark is often held by a group company rather than the listed parent, so the registrant's name can differ from the owner named above.[3]
