Result-driven SCIENCE, EMPOWERING YOU EVERYDAY TO LOVE THE SKIN YOU’RE IN.

The Olay Standard

Pioneering transformative skin care for all for over six decades

Since 1952 we’ve worked to revolutionize skin care by keeping real people at the focal point. With every new innovation we introduce to the world and every clinical trial we run, our goal is simple: develop effective skin care that truly works and can be available to everyone.

With a deep understanding of skin aging, superior formulations, and performance testing, Olay scientists design and develop products that actually work.

We choose quality ingredients to create formulas that work

We work to determine a Safe Range for each and every ingredient based on a similar process many regulatory agencies and scientific groups use to ensure safety. Globally, we follow the guidelines of groups like the European Union Commission, the World Heath Organization and the National Academy of Sciences.

Fight skincare misinformation with Olay Scientists

We’ve partnered with Coursera, an online educational platform, to create a series of classes on cosmetic science. Our Olay scientists have designed these classes to demystify industry principles and best practices. Whether you’re a skincare enthusiast or someone considering cosmetic science as a career, you can learn the basics of the skincare industry and get a cosmetic science certificate on Coursera with courses taught by our very own scientists.
