In 1946, Estée Lauder started her
company with a jar of skin cream developed by a chemist uncle and a 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. Today, the Estée
Lauder collection of skincare, makeup and fragrance exemplifies the best that art and
science can achieve. The Estée Lauder name on a product is recognized in over 100
countries for quality maintained and promises kept.
