The Estée Lauder Companies

The Estée Lauder Companies is the global leader in prestige beauty. We have a diverse portfolio of 25+ brands sold in 150 countries and territories. Our founder, Estée Lauder, was a true visionary and businesswoman, who believed that anything is possible. Our company is infused with her passion for creativity and innovation, and a desire to push the boundaries and invent the unexpected.

In 1946, Estée and Joseph Lauder founded Estée Lauder Cosmetics. The couple had two sons, Leonard and Ronald, and the family business was often the topic of discussion at the dinner table. By 1960, after years of hard work and ingenuity, the Lauders were on their way — from a mom-and-pop operation to becoming one of the most influential names in the beauty industry.

Seventy years since its creation, second- and-third-generation members of the Lauder family remain at the heart of the publicly traded, family-controlled company, actively engaged in its leadership. We are proud to carry those family values at our core today.

Our Company's products are sold in over 150 countries and territories under the following brand names: AERIN, Aramis, Aveda, BECCA, Bobbi Brown, Bumble and bumble, By Kilian, Clinique, Coach, Darphin, Donna Karan, DKNY, Dr. Jart+, Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle, Ermenegildo Zegna, Estée Lauder, GLAMGLOW, Jo Malone London, Kiton, La Mer, Lab Series, Le Labo, M•A•C, Michael Kors, Origins, Prescriptives, RODIN olio lusso, Smashbox, Tom Ford, Tommy Hilfiger and Too Faced.

The Estée Lauder Companies operates in over 150 countries and territories and three main geographic regions: Asia/Pacific; Europe, the Middle East & Africa; and The Americas. Each region is composed of one or more affiliates. Today we have affiliates in 40+ countries and employees all over the world.

Beauty is consumed by people all over the world and at The Estée Lauder Companies, we are proud to have a workforce representative of that world. Inclusion and Diversity are part of our values, fully embedded in our culture and business strategy. When our employees have diverse backgrounds, experiences and perspectives, it results in greater innovation across our organization.
