Estee Lauder

“Founded in 1946, this technologically advanced, innovative company has gained a worldwide reputation for elegant, luxurious products. Products that come with a promise to uphold the finest standards of excellence through extensive research and stringent product testing. All, so we can bring you gentle and highly effective products.”

 

The eponymous Estee Lauder brand has come to be synonymous with classic elegance. The Estee Lauder line, known for its golden packaging and scriptive “EL” logo, now touts a full portfolio of skin care, makeup and fragrance lines. Most recently, Estee Lauder launched the latest of its anti-aging Re-Nutriv line: Ultimate Youth Crème, which teases "imagine if you could postpone aging indefinitely” and touts will leave skin “smoother and more flawless.” The Estee Lauder line also includes at-home alternatives to microdermabrasion (Idealist Micro-D) and peels (Perfectionist Peel).

 

Surely you’ve seen & heard the Lauder clan in the beauty press and society pages. But did you know the family affair began long ago—at the company’s inception, in fact—when Estee Lauder had a chemist uncle develop her first skin crème formula?
