NEW YORK, Aug. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Bio Ionic announces the launch of the Jade Dream Collection, bringing three of the brand's most-loved styling tools to life in a rich jade finish.

Powered by Bio Ionic's Moisturizing Heat(TM) technology, each tool is designed to style hair while helping maintain hydration.

"We're excited to introduce this coveted colorway to Ulta Beauty shoppers for the first time, making it even easier for consumers to experience our patented Moisturizing Heat technology through some of our most-loved styling tools."

e.l.f. Beauty's recent growth is largely driven by Rhode, the skincare brand founded by Hailey Bieber and acquired for $1 billion last year. Rhode contributed approximately $160 million of e.l.f.'s $479.4 million in quarterly sales, which climbed 36% and exceeded Wall Street's expectations of $431.2 million. However, the core e.l.f. brand actually declined during this period. Meanwhile, Ulta Beauty reported 11% sales growth to $3.16 billion in its fiscal first quarter, fuelled by wealthier shoppers trading up to prestige brands. e.l.f. raised its full-year guidance, projecting adjusted earnings per share of $3.50–$3.55 and sales of $1.94 billion–$1.97 billion. Management expects growth across all brands for the remainder of the year. Despite profit doubling to $66.6 million, tariff refunds contributed roughly 68 cents per share — a one-time benefit that won't recur.
