Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream

Kiehl's is a historic American cosmetics brand that began as a single homeopathic pharmacy in Third Avenue in New York City in 1851. Founded by John Kiehl, the brand was later expanded by the Morse family, who developed many of the iconic formulations and the unique 'try before you buy' sampling philosophy that the brand is known for today.

In 2000, the brand was acquired by L'Oréal, the world's largest cosmetics company. While Kiehl's retains its New York roots and boutique apothecary aesthetic, its manufacturing has expanded to meet global demand. Most products are still manufactured in the United States, particularly at L'Oréal's facilities in New Jersey, though some products or components may be sourced or produced in Europe and Asia depending on regional market requirements.

Now operating as a key brand within L'Oréal's Luxe Division, Kiehl's continues to emphasize botanical ingredients and clinical efficacy. It remains headquartered in New York City under the umbrella of L'Oréal USA, benefiting from the parent company's extensive research and development resources while maintaining its heritage identity.
