Pond's

Pond's is a brand of beauty and health care products, currently owned by multinational corporation Unilever. Pond's Cream was invented in the United States as a patent medicine by pharmacist Theron T. Pond (1800–1852) of Utica, New York, in 1846. Mr. Pond extracted a healing tea from witch hazel, which he discovered could heal small cuts and other ailments. The product was named "Golden Treasure." After Theron died, it would be known as "Pond's Extract."

History

The company then moved on to produce Pond's Cold Cream and Pond's Vanishing Cream which marked the entrance of Pond's products into the facial care industry. Today, Pond's is sold around the globe. Its largest markets are in Spain and in Asia, including India, Japan and Thailand.
