FMCG major Dabur said it has completed the acquisition of the US based personal care firm Namaste Group for $100 million (about Rs 451 crore) in an all-cash deal. "The company's wholly-owned subsidiary Dermoviva Skin Essentials has completed the acquisition process by acquiring 100 per cent stake in leading personal care companies of Namaste Group, US," Dabur said in a statement.
