hypoallergenic, fragrance-free beauty brand.

Today, Revlon resiliently continues its legacy as a leading global beauty

company. Our diverse portfolio—which consists of some of the world’s most iconic

brands and product offerings in color cosmetics, skincare, hair color & care,

personal care, and fragrances—is sold around the world through prestige,

professional, mass, and direct-to-consumer retail channels. These brands include

Revlon, Revlon Professional, Elizabeth Arden, Almay, American Crew, CND, Cutex,

Mitchum, Sinful Colors, Creme of Nature, Christina Aguilera, John Varvatos,

Juicy Couture, Ed Hardy and more.

We honor our heritage, embrace change, and applaud diversity. We champion our

employees and celebrate our consumers.

We are Revlon, together, transforming beauty.
