Kiehl's Since 1851 was founded as an old-world apothecary in New York's East Village over 150 years ago. Kiehl's extensive experience has resulted in a unique blend of cosmetic, pharmaceutical, herbal and medicinal knowledge developed over generations.
Ingredients are the single most important component of their products, and Kiehl’s have always proudly displayed theirs. Ingredients are not chosen on their aesthetic merit – only formulas with ingredients that are truly beneficial to the skin are selected. Kiehl’s select many naturally derived ingredients and use minimal preservatives in their formulations, just enough to give their products a shelf life.
