Makes wet-shave razors (Schick), sun care (Banana Boat) and feminine/infant care products sold through mass retail.
Sells razor handles once and blades repeatedly, so refill purchases carry the wet-shave business, while sun care is seasonal and tied to summer weather. A few large retailers account for much of sales. Edgewell was formed in 2015 when Energizer split its batteries from its personal-care brands.
Moat: narrow (brand, distribution). Long-established shave and sun-care brands but a distant #2 to Gillette in razors.
Headquarters: Shelton, Connecticut, United States · Founded: 2015 · Employees: 6,700
