Jergens History
Skin care and skin beauty are ageless pursuits spanning centuries. This is particularly borne out with Jergens skin care products, a line of moisturizers and skin care products that have been in existence for over a hundred years. In a rapidly changing world, the Jergens name is as familiar today as it was to our great-grandmothers. It continues to offer quality, results, and value, something every woman desires. Keeping its history in mind, Jergens continues to generously offer great products, great specials and great coupons.
Jergens, which is now part of of a larger corporation, was originally founded in Cincinnati in 1882 as Jergens Soap Company. Made with coconut oil, the soap product was meant to work well in hard water. By 1901 the company branched out to include skin lotions and moisturizers. In 1982 Jergens was acquired by Kao, a Japanese based corporation that recognized the product’s high quality and popularity. Though Kao represents a wide range of other skin care products, it wisely continues to market Jergens lotions under its original and well respected brand name.
Today, Jergens skin care products are clustered under several moisturizing and cleansing lines. The moisturizers fall under the Jergens Naturals body and facial lotions. These include such subcategories as Jergens Naturals Ultra Hydrating Daily Moisturizer, Jergens Naturals Total Nourishment Daily Moisturizer, and Jergens Naturals Skin Renewing Daily Moisturizer. All of these favorite products are made of at least 94% natural ingredients, featuring such emollients as agave and jojoba oil, mangosteen and acai berry, and pomegranate and grapeseed oil. Each individualized product caters to a special need of skin care.
Even the original almond-cherry scent that made Jergens a household name is still available. Moisturizing hand soaps and mild bar soap are also available for those who relish Jergens quality.
Jergens Shea Butter Deep Conditioning lotion has also attracted many customers, as has Jergens Soothing Aloe Relief Skin Cooling Relief Moisturizer for sun, wind, or cold damaged skin.
More recently, Jergens created its line of Natural Glow products. These combine the timeless quality of Jergens lotions with a glow perfecting complex. Regular applications of these provide women with natural appearing summer colors to ward off indoor pallor. Subcategories of the Natural Glow line include formulas to encourage skin firming, better texture, and the minimizing of cellulite appearance. Jergens Natural Glow Healthy Complexion Daily Moisturizer is available everywhere, and includes SPF 20 sun screening for further protection.
The Natural Glow products are available to accommodate fair/medium to medium/tan complexions. In 2009 Jergens Natural Glow products won Seventeen Magazine’s Best of Beauty Self Tanner and Allure’s Readers’ Choice awards. Unlike some other products on the market, Jergens Natural Glow moisturizers provide gradual and natural looking summer sun kissed coloring. On its website, Jergens offers videos to help women learn how to best use these amazing products.
The Jergens product lines are available at almost any store that carries skin moisturizers. Among these are CVS, Rite-Aid, and Walgreen. In addition, they may also be bought online using links embedded in the Jergens’ web page.
