Pond's
Overview
A RICH HERITAGE
The Pond’s Institute was founded in Utica New York by a pharmacist named Theron T. Pond, who created the “Pond’s Golden Treasure” in 1846, a witch-hazel based wonder product. This beauty treatment was then introduced as Pond’s Extract in 1886. In 1914, the Pond’s Cold Cream and Vanishing Cream made its way to the market which set Pond’s image as a beauty brand, and triggered numerous endorsements by beauty experts.
INTERNATIONAL LEADING-EDGE INNOVATION
In 1987, Unilever purchased Chessebrough-Pond’s. By the 1990’s, Pond’s was at the forefront of leading-edge product innovations that answer women’s unmet skincare needs. Pond’s led colour management developments in Asia and pioneered the use of AHAs for anti-aging in the US. These innovations in tune with women’s needs and beauty ideals have given Pond’s a strong position in the global skin arena.
POND'S PROMISE
From one man in a tiny home-made laboratory to today’s state of the art Research & Development facilities of the Pond’s Institute, from New York, Madrid, Tokyo to the Philippines, the Pond’s promise has remained the same across 58 countries for over 150 years: to deliver beauty transformations through revolutionary product innovations that make a real difference to women’s skin and the way they live their lives.
