In 1946, Estée Lauder started her company with a jar of
skin cream developed by a chemist uncle and the desire to bring out the beauty
in every woman. Even before there were labels for the earliest Estée Lauder skin
creams, they began to win loyal fans. By the time the revolutionary fragrance
Youth-Dew was introduced in 1953, the Estée Lauder Company had already won a
reputation for innovation, research and quality.
In 1960 Estée Lauder opened her first account outside America. This account was
Harrods in London.
Today, the Estée Lauder Collection of skincare, makeup and fragrance exemplifies
the best that art and science can achieve.
