Histori
The company started in 1946 when Està © e Lauder and her husband Joseph Lauder began producing cosmetics in New York City. They first brought only four products: Cleansing Oil, Skin Lotion, Super Rich All-purpose Creme, and Creme Pack. Two years later, in 1948 they set up their first shopping mall with Saks Fifth Avenue in New York.
Over the next 15 years, they expanded their reach and continued to sell their products in the United States. In 1960, the company started its first international account at a department store in London, Harrods. The following year opened an office in Hong Kong.

Controversy
SOPA
Està © e Lauder Companies appear on the list of major corporations that support SOPA, the controversial but unsuccessful Congressional anti-piracy bill, considered excessive by critics.
Child labor
In 2001, it was reported that children were found working in a factory in Cambridge, New York making a product for Origins, one of the natural product brands of Estee Lauder. Contracted companies are Common Sense Natural Soap & amp; Body care, owned by a group led by Yoneq Gene Spriggs. Estee Lauder said that it was soon moved to terminate the contract with a manufacturer that has been in business for 5 years, claiming that they were completely unaware before the initial inspection.
Animal Testing
The Està © e Lauder Companies conducted a test of non-animal and human volunteers to assess the safety and efficacy of the product. The Està © e Lauder Companies perform animal testing where required by law. The Chinese government needs testing on animals for many cosmetic products. This led to controversy for smaller brands that were "cruelly free" but bought by Està © e Lauder. Està © e Lauder became the parent company of the brand and the smaller profit through smaller brands. Customers worry that by continuing to buy from these previously cruel free brands they may contribute to animal testing through the parent company.

Boycott and anti-boycott
At least since February 2001, Està © e Lauder and its brands were the targets of a boycott campaign. The boycott has been led by pro-Palestinian activists who have targeted the corporation because of pro-Israeli activities Ronald Lauder. In June 2003, the San Francisco-based Queers Discourage Israeli Terrorism (QUIT) boycotted their "EstÃÆ'  © e Slaughter" campaign. The boycott has produced an anti-boycott campaign by Israeli supporters.
