Cyclax was founded in 1896 by Frances Forsythe when she opened her first beauty salon in Mayfair, London. The business started in the front room of a house at 58 South Molton Street) where Frances, using an alias, Mrs. Hemming, provided advice and beauty treatments. After a short period of trading, she began to make and sell cosmetics. It took around five years to develop a range of over 40 Cyclax formulas and preparations, and at first, these were only available through the London salon.
The original Cyclax ranges included skin and hair care products, face powders, eye lotions, lip lotions, and soap. Cyclax products went on sale in Europe and across parts of the UK just before the First World War and were retailed in department stores such as Selfridges and available through many chemist shops across the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA.
Cyclax is one of the world’s oldest cosmetic companies still in operation today.
