Brand Finance has launched its annual list of what it argues are the strongest, most valuable and most sustainable (more on that in a moment) brands of the year.
Of the rankings, Annie Brown, Brand Finance's director, said, "As the cosmetics industry evolves, these brands exemplify the dynamic shifts and strategic innovations driving growth and consumer engagement in the sector. The relentless pursuit of excellence by these leaders not only shapes the contours of the global beauty landscape but also sets new benchmarks for success and sustainability in the industry."

L'Oréal was again the most valuable brand, with its value jumping 11% year-over-year, totaling $13.4 billion, per Brand Finance.
The value was tabulated based on the company's premiumization and strong sales growth.
Gillette was in second place, with year-over-year brand value growth of 13%, driven by pricing adjustments that boosted sales and a long-term partnership with the New York Yankees.
Garnier, meanwhile, saw its value jump 15% year-over-year, more than any other brand.
