Sephora was originally founded in Limoges, France, in 1969 by Dominique Mandonnaud. The brand revolutionized the beauty retail experience by moving cosmetics out from behind the counter and allowing customers to touch and test products freely. This innovative approach transformed into a global beauty powerhouse that now features thousands of brands alongside its own high-quality private label, known as Sephora Collection.
Today, Sephora is a flagship subsidiary of the French luxury conglomerate LVMH (LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton). While the brand's identity and headquarters remain deeply rooted in France, its product manufacturing is decentralized. Sephora Collection products are manufactured in multiple countries, including France, Italy, South Korea, China, and the United States, to take advantage of specific regional expertise in skincare and color cosmetics. As a key part of the LVMH Selective Retailing division, Sephora continues to lead the global prestige beauty market through both its extensive physical store network and its advanced digital presence.
