Made in the USA At Merle Norman Cosmetics, we believe in “in”sourcing. From a humble kitchen in California, Merle Norman Cosmetics started as, and continues to be, an American company. For us, “Made in the USA” is not just a cliché. It is a literal translation of who we are. Founded by an American born and bred woman who paved the way for female entrepreneurship, we are a family-run business. We opened our first Studio (franchise location) in sunny Santa Monica and built facilities in both California and Tennessee. We employ nearly 500 U.S. workers to research, develop, manufacture and package our own line of skin care and color products. To ensure optimum quality control, we house our own Research & Development department on the premises of our headquarters in Los Angeles. Using state-of-the-art technology and the finest ingredients available, we take pride in developing unique, high-quality products that address the needs of tody’s consumers while also presenting a broad line of color cosmetics for today’s fashionable consumers. |
| We are proud that our formulas are made right here in the U.S., along with the compacts, jars, bottles, caps and tubes in which our great products are packaged. While we may source a component from overseas, we design our line so that all product and manufacturing of the finished good is done here in the U.S. Except for a few select items such as sponges, puffs, pumps and pencils which are specialized items made overseas, we are 100% American made. That authenticity is beyond comparison in this industry. In 1931, Merle Norman realized the American dream by building this company with the help of her nephew, J.B. Nethercutt. Today, J.B.’s son Jack Nethercutt continues the legacy with his wife Helen. To learn more about the American inspiration that is Merle Norman Cosmetics, click here. |
