International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc.’s (IFF - Free Report) subsidiary, IFF-Lucas Meyer Cosmetics (IFF-LMC) has acquired three personal care ingredients and related intellectual properties from Kemin Industries to expand its product portfolio. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Headquartered in Des Moines, IA, Kemin Industries is an ingredient manufacturer committed to improving the quality, safety and efficacy of feed, food and health-related products. The company operates in 90 countries with more than 2,500 employees worldwide.

Per the transaction, IFF-LMC bought three products of Kemin, comprising Lysofix, XFoliPEARL and MicroCurb.
