MatsukiyoCocokara & Co., Inc. has announced the acquisition of John Masters Holdings, the parent company of the premium organic cosmetics brand John Masters Organics. The transaction, to be executed through its subsidiary MCC Management, will result in 100% ownership of the brand and is scheduled for completion on September 7, 2026.

John Masters Organics is a US-based high-end brand specializing in organic hair and skincare products. The acquisition is part of MatsukiyoCocokara’s ‘Alliance Concept’ and follows its previous acquisition of the beauty review service AppBrew. By integrating the brand into its network of over 3,600 stores, MatsukiyoCocokara aims to strengthen its presence in the beauty sector and defend brand value as the organic market shifts from a premium niche toward a more commoditized sector.
