From next month, the retailer will expand JCPenney Beauty with an aim to reach 300 stores by early next year and 600 stores by next spring.

The nationwide launch builds on the company’s exclusive partnership with beauty e-commerce brand thirteen lune.

thirteen lune will comprise roughly 20% of the retailer’s beauty assortment, pairing in-store with private label and exclusive branded apparel.

JCPenney Beauty’s expansion and continued exclusive partnership with thirteen lune is part of the retailer’s efforts to provide convenient access to ‘hyper-inclusive’ beauty products both online and in-store.
