Revlon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Revlon (NYSE: REV) is an American cosmetics company. Revlon was founded in 1932, by Charles Revson and his brother Joseph, along with a chemist, Charles Lachman, who contributed the "L" in the REVLON name.
Starting with a single product — a new type of nail enamel — the three founders pooled their resources and developed a unique manufacturing process. Using pigments instead of dyes, Revlon developed a variety of new shades of opaque nail enamel.
In six years the company became a multimillion dollar organization. Revlon is now an internationally known cosmetics company.
