Last year Unilever was heralding a new venture in Cuba. CEO Paul Polman laying the first slab of a new soap and toothpaste factory. This year the Anglo Dutch giant is buying cosmetics firm Carver Korea. There's a deliberate pattern - expansion into beauty and personal care. The food and consumer goods maker will pay $2.7 billion to Bain Capital, Goldman Sachs and the company's founder. The latter pair reportedly bought a near 60 percent stake in Carver last year for around $500 million. Access to Asia's booming market is a key attraction.
