Estée Lauder Companies, Inc. is a producer and seller of skincare, fragrance, makeup and hair care products. This Manhattan-based company started in 1946 when spouses Joseph and Estée Lauder started producing cosmetics. The company started with just four products: Super-Rich All Purpose Crème, Cleansing Oil, Crème Pack, and Skin Lotion.
Fifteen years after the founding of the company, it started to expand to other markets in the United States. In 1960, Estée Lauder started their first international store; in a London department store named Harrods. A year after, Estée Lauder started selling in Hong Kong.
Estée Lauder received several commendations for her innovations. She was named as one of the ten Outstanding Women in Business in 1967. The Yeshiva University’s Albert Einstein College of Medicine also awarded her the Spirit of Achievement Award in 1968.
In that same year, Estée Lauder launched the Clinique brand. Clinique is the first dermatologist guided and allergy tested cosmetic brand. It is also the first brand of women’s cosmetics to introduce a line for male. In 1976, the company launched the “Skin Supplies for Men”.
