Kiehl's began as a single apothecary in Manhattan's East Village in 1851, founded by John Kiehl. Over the course of the 20th century, it transitioned into a premium skincare brand known for its scientific heritage and focus on botanical ingredients. The brand built a reputation for its clinical aesthetic, personalized customer service, and generous sampling programs.
In 2000, the brand was acquired by the L'Oréal Group, which helped transform the local New York business into a global powerhouse. While the brand maintains its headquarters in New York, its products are manufactured in both the United States and France to meet international demand.
Today, Kiehl's operates as a key prestige brand within L'Oréal's Luxe division. It continues to honor its heritage by displaying the original 'Since 1851' branding on its packaging while benefiting from the extensive research and development resources of its French parent company.
