Almay
Almay is an American cosmetics brand that is known for its hypoallergenic products. The brand was founded in 1931 by chemist Alfred Woititz and his wife Fanny Mae Woititz. Almay is a subsidiary of Revlon, a major player in the cosmetics industry.
History[edit | edit source]
Almay was established with the goal of creating makeup products suitable for sensitive skin. Alfred Woititz, a chemist, developed the first products using only pure, hypoallergenic ingredients. The brand name "Almay" is a combination of Alfred and Fanny Mae's names.
In 1987, Almay was acquired by Revlon, which expanded the brand's product line and market reach. Today, Almay is known for its commitment to producing high-quality, hypoallergenic, and fragrance-free cosmetics.
