About THG

We're a fast-moving, global technology group that specialises in taking brands direct to consumers. We're home to a portfolio of leading brands and sites including Myprotein, ESPA, LOOKFANTASTIC, and Cult Beauty, all of which are powered by our fully integrated digital commerce ecosystem, THG Ingenuity.

We handle everything in-house, including technology, content creation, e-commerce, marketing, manufacturing, new product development, and logistics. This comprehensive approach ensures we can fully realise our vision and maintain our leadership in a rapidly evolving global industry.

Who is Cult Beauty?

Well, we're a beauty-obsessed team who share a common goal - to become the most trusted beauty retailer in the world! We're all about intelligent beauty, from the way we pick our ever-lusted-after brands to how we talk to our exceptionally savvy customers. Our Cult Community values transparency and so do we. That's why we only sell the products that truly blow us away and publish every review on our site. To achieve this goal, we want to collaborate with individuals who have the same vision. As part of the Cult Beauty team, you'll be encouraged to share ideas and empowered to aim for the skies. We're a team so if we fail, we fail together and try again. We're not just here to sell the most unbelievably amazing beauty products in the world, we also want to challenge the definition of what 'beauty' is and use our platform to challenge the status quo - both in our industry and society.
