Founded in 1851 in Manhattan, New York, Kiehl’s began as a typical 19th century apothecary, offering New Yorkers salves and ointments made from natural ingredients. By the early 1960s, Kiehl’s pharmacists, with their extensive experience and expertise in the fields of beauty, herbalism, pharmacy and medicine, had built up their unique image and developed into a full-service pharmacy, launching the first Kiehl’s-named care products. In the early 1960s, Kiehl’s pharmacists had the experience and expertise to develop a range of products for both men and women based on customer needs; for more than 150 years, Kiehl’s has remained committed to providing customers with the most professional consultation services and top-quality care products for face, body, hair and even after sports. In 2000, Kiehl’s officially joined L’Oreal.
