Please also confirm, if true, that pricing did not materially impact net sales. Your response also includes excerpts from your current disclosures, including that "reported net sales increased in fiscal 2021, primarily due to higher net sales in skin care, fragrance and hair care, as well as growth in our Asia/Pacific and Europe, the Middle East & Africa regions."
