The Brand Edit

The Story of Colorescience

Who founded Colorescience, when it began, and the original idea that shaped the brand.

Founded
2000
Founder
Diane Ranger
Origin
California, United States

How it started

Mineral-makeup pioneer Diane Ranger developed Colorescience around the idea that cosmetic coverage could also support and protect skin. The company grew at the meeting point of mineral makeup, professional skin care, and sun protection.

The original goal

The goal was to make mineral protection easy to wear and reapply while using aesthetics to support a longer-term skin-health routine.

How the idea still shows up

That idea is clearest in the brand’s all-mineral sun-care focus and its brush-on formats designed for practical reapplication.
