Our Story

A Legacy Of Efficacy

SINCE 1871

THE BEAUTY OF EXPERIENCE

We know a lot about beautiful skin. We’re over 150 years old. Our Company was founded in 1871 by Francis Crayton Sturtevant, a civil war medic who created products that would cure and protect skin from infection. What started out as a fight against infection, has evolved into developing microbiome friendly skincare products to strengthen the skin and keep it healthy.

As America’s oldest skincare company we have seen enormous technical innovations over the years.

Our deep understanding of the skin microbiome and its relationship to our health and wellness gives us a roadmap to developing a new paradigm for skincare.

As America’s oldest skincare company we are always amazed at the sheer volume of new skincare products introduced every year. We can only imagine just how overwhelmed (or maybe underwhelmed) customers must be. 

At Columbia SkinCare our skincare products don’t go to market until we know they will deliver true results to our customers.

Results that will give them real satisfaction. Results that make them glow inside and out. So while a fast product launch for us means every quarter century, you know they will perform as promised

A passion for science. A deep respect for nature.

Columbia SkinCare has always approached skincare believing that nature holds the best medicine. Our products rely on unique combinations and formulations of natural ingredients that work in harmony with the human body to improve the quality and health of skin. Our customers and clinical tests attest to their efficacy. Our products are manufactured and all ingredients sourced in the USA under strict GMP guidelines, and they are all approved by EWG’s Skin Deep and PETA.

Columbia SkinCare is a proud supporter of the One Health Initiative, an international association comprised of members of the scientific community–physicians, research facilities and medical-related organizations–that have collaborated to unite human and veterinary medicine and ecosystem health to promote, improve and defend the health and well-being of all species through the integration of human medicine, veterinary medicine and environmental science.
