There are many competitive household and personal products industries born and operated outside of the U.S, which have become prominent players in the global market place. To name a few, I shall start with the extremely innovative producer of household products. Dyson Ltd. develops and manufactures vacuum cleaners, hand dryers, fans, and motors. It offers groom tools, vacuum cleaners for asthma and allergy sufferers, vacuum cleaners for pet owners, digital motors, and cylinders; and spares and accessories for upright vacuum cleaners, cylinder vacuum cleaners, and handheld vacuum cleaners. The company was incorporated in 1991 and is based in Malmesbury, United Kingdom with additional offices internationally. On to the personal products industry, Vichy is the number one skincare brand in European pharmacies, and in slowly gaining popularity in the U.S. Vichy Laboratories is unique, because it is dedicated to advancing skin health through a deep understanding of how skin functions, supported by medical research. With patented ingredients combined with Vichy Thermal Spa Water enriched with rare minerals, Vichy skincare products deliver an exceptionally high level of efficacy, clinically proven by independent dermatologists. Another European personal products company is La Roche-Posay Laboratoire Pharmaceutique, offering cosmetic products. It provides body care, face care, hair care, sun protection, and make-up products. All dermatological products are formulated with La Roche-Posay thermal spring water, a similar tactic to vichy. The company was incorporated in 1976 and is based in La Roche-Posay, France. La Roche-Posay Laboratoire Pharmaceutique operates as a subsidiary of L'Oreal SA. L'Oréal's success is built on a strong foundation. The world's largest beauty products company, it creates cosmetics, perfume, and hair and skin care items. Its brands include L'Oréal Paris and Maybelline, Lancôme, and Redken and Softsheen/Carson.
