Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Business Segments	The Company is organized into three business segments: Self Care, Skin Health and Beauty, and Essential Health. The Self Care segment includes a broad product range such as cough, cold and allergy, pain care, and other Self Care (digestive health, smoking cessation, and other) products. The Skin Health and Beauty segment is focused on face and body care and hair, sun, and other products. The Essential Health segment includes oral care, baby care, and other Essential Health (women’s health and wound care) products.	Reportable Segments Commencing in fiscal year 2022, the Company began operating in the following reportable segments: (i) Self Care, (ii) Skin Health and Beauty and (iii) Essential Health. Prior to 2022, the Company operated as one reportable segment. All periods have been presented to conform to the current segment reporting structure. The Company is organized into three business segments: Self Care, Skin Health and Beauty, and Essential Health. The Self Care segment includes a broad product range such as cough, cold and allergy, pain care, as well as digestive health, smoking cessation, and other products. The Skin Health and Beauty segment is focused on face and body care and hair, sun, and other products. The Essential Health segment includes oral care, baby care, as well as women’s health, wound care, and other products.
Basis of Presentation		Basis of Presentation The Company has historically operated as part of the Parent and not as a separate entity. These Combined Financial Statements of the Company have been derived from the consolidated financial statements of the Parent to present the Combined Balance Sheets as of January 1, 2023 and January 2, 2022 and the related Combined Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income (Loss), Equity and Cash Flows for fiscal years ended January 1, 2023, January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021 as if the Company had been operated on a standalone basis for the periods presented. The Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and the Parent’s historical accounting policies, by aggregating financial information from the components of the Company and the Parent’s accounting records directly attributable to the Company. All intercompany transactions and balances within the Company have been eliminated. All transactions between the Company and the Parent are considered to be effectively settled for cash in the Combined Financial Statements at the time the transaction is recorded. The effects of the settlement of these transactions between the Company and the Parent are reflected in the Combined Statements of Cash Flows as “Net transfers from (to) the Parent” within the financing activities, and in the Combined Balance Sheets and Combined Statements of Equity as “Net Investment from Parent”. The Combined Financial Statements of the Company include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that management has determined are specifically or primarily identifiable to the Company, as well as direct and indirect costs that are attributable to the operations of the Company. Indirect costs are the costs of support functions that are provided on a centralized or geographic basis by the Parent and its affiliates, which include, but are not limited to, facilities, insurance, logistics, quality, compliance, finance, human resources, benefits administration, procurement support, information technology, legal, corporate strategy, corporate governance, other professional services and general commercial support functions. Indirect costs have been allocated to the Company for the purposes of preparing the Combined Financial Statements based on a specific identification basis or, when specific identification is not practicable, a proportional cost allocation method, primarily net sales, headcount, or other allocation methodologies that are considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or benefit received by the Company during the periods presented, depending on the nature of the services received. Management considers that such allocations have been made on a reasonable basis consistent with benefits received but may not necessarily be indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if the Company had been operated on a standalone basis for the periods presented. The Company is incurring certain non-recurring Separation-related costs in its establishment as a standalone public company and those costs determined to be for the benefit of the Company are included in the Combined Financial Statements. These non-recurring Separation-related costs were $213 million for fiscal year 2022 and are included within Selling, general, and administrative expenses. The Company did not incur Separation-related costs in fiscal year 2021 or 2020. A significant number of personal injury claims alleging that talc causes cancer have been made against Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. (“Old JJCI”) and the Parent arising out of the use of body powders containing talc, primarily Johnson’s Baby Powder. Upon the 2021 Corporate Restructuring (as defined below), the Company no longer reflects the impact of the Talc-Related Liabilities (as defined below). See Note 13. Cash generated from the Company’s operations is generally managed by the Parent’s centralized treasury function and is swept into the Parent’s and its affiliates’ bank accounts. Cash and cash equivalents on the Combined Balance Sheets represent balances in accounts specifically identifiable to the Company that are not swept into the Parent’s and its affiliates’ bank accounts. The Parent’s third-party interest expense has not been allocated for any of the periods presented as the Company was not the legal obligor of the debt and the borrowings were not directly attributable to the Company’s operations. The Company’s equity balance in these financial statements represents the excess of total assets over total liabilities. Equity is impacted by changes in comprehensive income, contributions from or to the Parent which are the result of treasury activities and net funding provided by or distributed to the Parent. The Parent calculates foreign currency translation on its consolidated assets and liabilities, which include assets and liabilities of the Company. Foreign currency translation recorded during the fiscal years ended January 1, 2023, January 2, 2022 and January 3, 2021 is based on currency movements specific to the Company’s Combined Financial Statements. The income tax amounts in the Combined Financial Statements have been calculated based on a separate return methodology and presented as if the Company’s operations were reported by separate taxpayers in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Following the Separation, the Company’s operating footprint as well as tax return elections and assertions are expected to be different and therefore, the Company’s hypothetical income taxes, as presented in the Combined Financial Statements, are not expected to be indicative of the Company’s future income taxes, which will also be impacted by the Tax Matters Agreement with the Parent. Certain current income tax liabilities related to the Company’s activities included in the Parent’s income tax returns were assumed to be immediately settled with Parent through Net Investment from Parent on the Combined Balance Sheets and reflected in the Combined Statements of Cash Flows as a financing activity. Basis of Presentation Effective April 4, 2023, the Company’s financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis, as J&J completed the Consumer Health Business Transfer on such date. The unaudited financial statements for all periods presented, including the historical results of the Company prior to April 4, 2023, are now referred to as the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”. Prior to April 4, 2023, the Company operated as a segment of the Parent and not as a separate entity. The Company’s financial statements prior to April 4, 2023 were prepared on a combined basis and were derived from the Parent’s historical consolidated financial statements for interim financial reporting, which do not conform in all respects to the requirements of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for annual financial statements. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2023 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements and related notes as contained in the Company’s final prospectus (the “IPO Prospectus”) filed on May 4, 2023 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act,”) relating to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented. The operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. Prior to the Kenvue IPO, the Company relied on the Parent’s corporate and other support functions. Therefore, certain corporate and shared costs were allocated to the Company including the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses that J&J’s management determined were specifically or primarily identifiable to the Company, as well as direct and indirect costs that were attributable to the operations of the Company. Indirect costs are the costs of support functions that were provided on a centralized or geographic basis by the Parent and its affiliates, which included, but were not limited to, facilities, insurance, logistics, quality, compliance, finance, human resources, benefits administration, procurement support, information technology, legal, corporate strategy, corporate governance, other professional services, and general commercial support functions. Indirect costs were allocated to the Company for the purposes of preparing condensed combined financial statements prior to the Kenvue IPO, based on a specific identification basis or, when specific identification was not practicable, a proportional cost allocation method, primarily net sales, headcount, or other allocation methodologies that were considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or benefit received by the Company during the periods presented, depending on the nature of the services received. Management considers that such allocations were made on a reasonable basis consistent with benefits received but may not necessarily be indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if the Company had been operated on a standalone basis for the periods presented. Kenvue’s practice is to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined fiscal calendar, which allows the business to close its books on Sunday at the end of the period. The Company and the Parent incurred certain non-recurring Separation-related costs in the establishment of Kenvue as a standalone public company. Costs incurred by the Company and those costs incurred by the Parent determined to be for the benefit of the Company are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. These non-recurring Separation-related costs were $102 million and $49 million for the fiscal three months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively, and $200 million and $59 million for the fiscal six months ended July 2, 2023 and July 3, 2022, respectively. The non-recurring Separation-related costs are included within Selling, general, and administrative expenses. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and entities consolidated under the variable interest and voting models. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates		Use of Estimates The preparation of Combined Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Estimates are used when accounting for sales discounts, trade promotions, rebates, allowances and incentives, product liabilities, income taxes, withholding taxes, depreciation, amortization, employee benefits, contingencies, allocations of cost and expenses from the Parent and its affiliates, and intangible asset and liability valuations. Actual results may or may not differ from those estimates.

Variable Interest Entities and Net Economic Benefit Arrangements		Variable Interest Entities and Net Economic Benefit Arrangements When the Company makes an initial investment in or establishes other variable interests in an entity, the entity is first evaluated to determine if it is a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) and if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and therefore subject to consolidation regardless of percentage ownership. The primary beneficiary of a VIE is a party that meets both of the following criteria: (1) it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and (2) it has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. Periodically, the Company assesses whether any change in its interest in or relationship with the entity affects the determination as to whether the entity is a VIE, and, if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. In connection with the Kenvue IPO, the Parent and Kenvue entered into a separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) on May 3, 2023. Under the Separation Agreement, transfer of certain assets and liabilities of the Consumer Health Business in certain jurisdictions (each, a “Deferred Local Business”) was not completed prior to the Kenvue IPO and was deferred due to certain precedent conditions, which include ensuring compliance with applicable law, obtaining necessary governmental approvals and other consents and for other business reasons. At Kenvue IPO and until the Deferred Local Business transfers to the Company, J&J (1) holds and operates the Deferred Local Businesses on behalf of and for the benefit of the Company, and (2) will use reasonable best efforts to treat and operate, insofar as reasonably practicable and to the extent permitted by applicable law, each such Deferred Local Business in the ordinary course of business in all material respects consistent with past practice. The benefits and costs related to these Deferred Local Businesses will be assumed by the Company (see below “—Net Economic Benefit Arrangements”). In addition, the Company and J&J will use reasonable best efforts to take all actions to transfer each Deferred Local Business as promptly as reasonably practicable. When the precedent conditions are met, the Deferred Local Businesses will be transferred to the Company as per the terms of the arrangement with J&J.Net Economic Benefit ArrangementsWith respect to certain Deferred Local Businesses that are legal entities and the Deferred Local Businesses that are not legal entities (“Deferred Markets”) as described above, the Company and J&J entered into net economic benefit arrangements effective on April 4, 2023, pursuant to which, among other things, J&J will transfer to the Company the net profits from the operations of each of the Deferred Markets (or, in the event the operations of any such Deferred Markets result in net losses to J&J, the Company will reimburse J&J for the amount of such net losses).
