BACKSTORY: Revlon, Inc. (NYSE: REV) is an American multinational cosmetics, skin care, fragrance, and personal care company. Revlon is headquartered in New York City, Revlon was established in New York City on March 1, 1932, and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Revlon is sold in 150 countries and has many global locations including Mexico City, London, Paris, Hong Kong, Sydney, Singapore, and Tokyo.

Revlon was founded in New York City on March 1, 1932, in the midst of the Great Depression, by Jewish American brothers Charles Revson and Joseph Revson along with a chemist, Charles Lachman, who contributed the “L” in the Revlon name.^[4] The three men started with one single product, a new type of nail enamel^[4] and pooled their resources to develop a unique manufacturing process. Using pigments instead of dyes, Revlon developed a variety of new shades of nail enamel.^[4] In 1937, Revlon started selling the polishes in department stores and pharmacies. In six short years, the company became a multimillion-dollar organization. By 1940, Revlon offered an entire manicure line and added lipstick to the collection. During World War II, Revlon created makeup and related products for the United States Army, which was honored in 1944 with the Army-Navy “E” Award for Excellence. ^{[citation needed]}

By the end of World War II, Revlon was the number two cosmetics producer in the United States.^[5] Expanding its capabilities, the company bought Graef & Schmidt, a cutlery manufacturer seized by the government in 1943 because of German business ties. This acquisition made it possible for Revlon to produce its own manicure and pedicure instruments instead of buying them from outside supply sources. ^{[citation needed]}

On February 28, 1996, Revlon was listed on the New York Stock Exchange as a public limited company.^[6] The IPO price was $24 per share.^[6]
