Founded in 1946, Estee Lauder began with a single woman’s mission to reach as many women as possible to help them learn how to create and maintain their beauty. Josephine Esther Mentzer founded the company with four products that she sold to beauty salons and hotels. Her pseudonym Estée Lauder developed from her family nickname Esty.

Estée Lauder believed that you needed to work with people in order to help them understand the power and potential of her products. She worked with Beauty Advisors directly as she taught them how to use her products along with the many benefits of them. Her relationships with those she worked with inspired many as she developed a company that would ultimately transform the beauty industry while reaching millions of woman around the world.

Estée Lauder won many honors and awards for her work including the United States’ Presidential Medal of Freedom and France’s Legion of Honor. Yet, with every step gained on the ladder of success, Estée Lauder continued to treasure her time with beauty advisors and customers. Her goal to develop products that help woman become beautiful in their everyday lives was achieved with hard work and grace.
