Estée Lauder

Our Heritage

Our purpose is to put the power of possibility in the palm of every hand—an approach to business inspired by our visionary founder, Mrs. Estée Lauder, who believed in the infinite possibilities within all of us. An entrepreneur who embodied hard work and gumption, Estée launched the company in 1946 with her husband, Joseph Lauder, and ELC’s success is a testament to her instinct for knowing what women wanted, her skill as a saleswoman, and her courage to defy the conventions of her time.


For more than 75 years, ELC has benefited from the Lauder family’s demonstrated dedication and commitment to its long-term success.
