Ep. 22 Almay

from The Cosmetic Chronicles · host Sarah Carvalho

In this episode, I’m covering Almay, the brand that created the first ever hypoallergenic makeup back in 1931 (!). I talk about their quick growth from prescription-only cosmetics to becoming a drugstore icon with their oil-free eye makeup remover, clear skin foundation, and eye-enhancing shadow palettes. Not to mention their recent resurgence thanks to a 2026 rebrand with their new ambassador, Miranda Kerr.
