SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGHS

The Estée Lauder Companies is constantly engaged in basic research that may lead to the development of more effective skin care products. Our Biological Research Department, which is part of The Estée Lauder Companies' Research and Development Group, is staffed by scientists with advanced degrees in disciplines related to the skin and its functions. Their studies are regularly published in dermatological journals; their papers are presented at prestigious conferences, academic colloquia and medical school grand rounds.

As a result, The Estée Lauder Companies has been a pioneer in products that address skin damage caused by oxidation and environmental pollution, and we were among the first to use effective natural ingredients such as alpha-hydroxy acids. We are proud to say that our research has contributed to the body of knowledge that helps us understand how to make the most effective beauty products possible.
