Jergens Calming Lavender Body Butter

Jergens is a storied American skincare brand that originated in Cincinnati, Ohio, in the late 19th century. Originally founded by Andrew Jergens Sr., the company became famous for its lotions and soaps. This specific Calming Lavender Body Butter is part of their Essential Oil Collection, designed to provide deep hydration using a triple butter blend.

While the brand has deep American roots, it is currently owned by the Kao Corporation, a major Japanese multinational company. Kao acquired the Andrew Jergens Company in 1988, integrating it into its global beauty and personal care portfolio. Manufacturing for the North American market primarily takes place in the United States, specifically at facilities in Ohio, maintaining a legacy of local production while benefiting from Japanese innovation and corporate oversight.
