In early 2005, York bought Molecular Skincare for shares and it brought with it £2m in cash. It also expanded the range of products into eczema and psoriasis. In July 2005, sphingosine-1-phosphate, an acne treatment was acquired. In April 2007, York acquired Rosanto Pharmaceuticals for £2m in shares at a notional price of 123.7p a share.
