SK-II
SK-II launched in 1980 with the Facial Treatment Essence as its founding product, built around Pitera — a yeast ferment filtrate discovered when scientists noticed sake brewery workers in Shiga, Japan had remarkably youthful hands. Now owned by Procter & Gamble, SK-II has been producing the same essential formula for over 40 years.
