Philosophy

Philosophy launched in 1996 out of Phoenix, Arizona and built its reputation on the original Hope in a Jar (1996), one of the earliest mainstream moisturizers to feature lactic acid. The brand is now owned by Coty and has several decades of independent reviews and dermatologist commentary behind its flagship formulas.
