Inflexion has agreed to invest in Manucurist, a Paris-based nail care brand founded in 2016, for undisclosed terms. The brand sells plant-based, vegan nail care products in more than 40 countries and claims to have pioneered the at-home LED gel manicure. Inflexion will support Manucurist’s founders and management team as they accelerate international expansion, with a focus on the US and further retail rollout, while continuing growth in digital and marketplace channels.

The investment will target team development, systems, and new product development to build Manucurist into a global leader across all nail categories. Inflexion previously backed British skincare brand Medik8, helping it expand internationally before its sale to L’Oréal, during which Medik8 more than quadrupled sales and tripled headcount. Inflexion, which manages €20 billion, typically invests in businesses valued from €50 million to €1 billion or more.
