Heritage Formulations Since 1851

Kiehl’s is an American skincare, haircare, and personal care brand founded in 1851 as an apothecary in Manhattan’s East Village.

Originally established as a neighborhood pharmacy, the company evolved into a global beauty retailer offering a range of face, body, and hair products developed with a focus on ingredient transparency and functional formulations.

Kiehl’s maintains a product portfolio that includes moisturizers, cleansers, serums, and grooming essentials distributed through standalone retail stores, department store counters, and online channels. The brand became part of the L’Oréal Group in 2000, expanding its international retail presence while retaining an apothecary-inspired store format.

Kiehl’s is recognized for its heritage positioning within prestige skincare and its emphasis on customer consultation and product sampling. Its longstanding Ultra Facial line and targeted treatment products contribute to its standing in premium skincare markets worldwide.
