The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. is a multinational manufacturer and marketer of prestige skincare, makeup, fragrance, and hair care products. The company was founded in 1946 by Estée Lauder and her husband, Joseph Lauder. It is headquartered in New York City, United States.
History[edit | edit source]
The company began with just four products: a cleansing oil, a skin lotion, a super-rich all-purpose creme, and a creme pack. Estée Lauder's initial success was driven by her personal approach to selling and her belief in the power of word-of-mouth marketing. By 1960, the company had expanded internationally, opening its first account in London, United Kingdom.
In the following decades, Estée Lauder Companies expanded its portfolio by acquiring several other brands, including Clinique, Aramis, and Prescriptives. The company went public in 1995 and has since continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions.
