Blistex
Blistex was founded in 1947 in Chicago as a family-owned lip care company and has grown into one of the most recognized names in the category. The company built R&D facilities in 1967 and manufactures from its Oak Brook, Illinois headquarters. While not dermatologist-developed, nearly eight decades of market presence and pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing standards have made Blistex a pharmacy staple worldwide.
