Lancaster

Lancaster is not your ordinary cosmetics and skincare brand. With a unique origin story rooted in the meeting of a Royal Air Force pilot, Georges Wurz, and chemist Dr. Eugene Frezzati on the Côte d'Azur during World War II, the brand's products are said to give a nod to aviation fuel. After the war, Wurz and Frezzati ventured into the world of high-end beauty products, inspired by Wurz's bomber named "Avro Lancaster," giving birth to the prestigious "Lancaster" label. Based in Monaco, the brand quickly found its niche audience and flourished. In 1965, Lancaster established its first beauty institute in Paris, tapping into the changing social landscape of the 1960s. Over the years, the brand made its mark by supporting the feminist movement with an exclusive collection for Princess Gracia Patricia of Monaco. The label also expanded its range with the introduction of sunscreen products, showcasing continuous innovation. Lancaster's commitment to research and development resulted in groundbreaking advancements, such as the introduction of oxygen cosmetics in 1993 and a revolutionary repair formula for sun protection in 1997. Today, Lancaster stands out as a pioneer in science-based cosmetics, offering a comprehensive range of skincare products, sunscreens, repair formulas, cover products, and cleansing essences. The brand's products are designed to be combined for a personalized skincare routine, allowing for a seamless integration that offers effective results. Lancaster has earned a reputation as a leading producer of high-quality cosmetics, setting new standards in the industry.
