The History of Elizabeth Arden
The Elizabeth Arden cosmetics company was set up back in the early 1900’s by a Canadian business woman called Florence Nightingale Graham. Florence first learned about skincare whilst working for a pharmaceutical company.
After a period in France where she learned more about tinted blushers and other make up products she and went on to introduce beauty gifts and cosmetics to America at a time when only performers traditionally wore make up.
After her death the company was sold to Eli Lilly and Company for $38,000,000 and then on to Faberge for $657,000,000. The company was bought again in 2003 by Unilever who still own it now and still product many of the timeless classics that make the Elizabeth Arden name so synonymous with great taste and quality.
