Estée Lauder skin care and cosmetics

Estée Lauder is a leading global luxury beauty brand founded in 1946 in New York City by Estée Lauder and her husband, Joseph Lauder. The brand began with just four products and grew into a global empire through pioneering marketing techniques and high-quality formulas. Today, it stands as the flagship brand of The Estée Lauder Companies Inc.

Manufacturing for Estée Lauder products is highly specialized, with major production facilities located in the United States (notably in Melville, New York), the United Kingdom, and Belgium. The company also maintains significant research and development and manufacturing presence in Asia and Switzerland to cater to regional markets and specialized product lines. The brand remains under the control of its parent corporation, which is a publicly traded company headquartered in the iconic General Motors Building in Manhattan, New York.
