Malin + Goetz, a popular beauty brand, has entered administration and closed all seven of its stores in the UK. The affected locations include Seven Dials, Soho, Spitalfields, Islington, Canary Wharf, Battersea Power Station, and Borough Yards, impacting over 70 jobs.
Online orders from Malin + Goetz have been temporarily halted, with a message on their website indicating a soon-to-be resumed service. However, customers can still purchase Malin + Goetz products from third-party retailers like Liberty, John Lewis, and Space NK.
In a statement to TheIndustry.beauty, a spokesperson for Malin + Goetz explained that after a thorough business review and exploration of alternatives, the decision to place the UK business into administration was unavoidable. This move led to the closure of all UK stores and the head office, acknowledging the unfortunate loss of jobs for employees and disruption for customers.
Although the website is expected to return after a brief maintenance period, the exact timeline remains unclear. Malin + Goetz, founded in New York in 2004 by Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz, initially offered six products catering to all skin types before expanding into fragrance, body care, and other beauty categories.
