Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream

Elizabeth Arden is a cornerstone of the American beauty industry, founded in 1910 by Florence Nightingale Graham (who used the professional name Elizabeth Arden). The brand's legendary Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant was first introduced in 1930 and has remained a cult classic for nearly a century due to its versatile healing properties.

While the brand has deep American roots and originated with the famous Red Door Salon on Fifth Avenue in New York City, its ownership has transitioned through several major corporations over the decades, including Eli Lilly and Unilever. Since 2016, Elizabeth Arden has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Revlon, Inc.

Today, the brand's products are manufactured primarily in the United States to maintain their original legacy formulations, though global distribution often involves local logistics subsidiaries. Despite Revlon's 2022 Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, the company successfully emerged in 2023 with a new leadership structure, ensuring the continued global presence of the Elizabeth Arden brand into 2026 and beyond.
