Queen Helene

For over 90 years, Queen Helene® has been a leader in crafting natural, therapeutic skincare and haircare preparations that deliver real, visible results. 

About Queen Helene

At Queen Helene®, we believe that quality skincare should be accessible to everyone. For over 90 years, we have been providing effective, nourishing hair and skincare solutions made with natural ingredients.

It all started in 1930 when a woman named Queen Helene began crafting her own unique masques and moisturizers using elements like honey and cocoa butter. As word spread, demand for her transformative concoctions skyrocketed. Queen Helene started bottling and selling her treatments, like the deeply cleansing Mint Julep Masque that pioneered the masquing trend.

Today, the Queen Helene® brand enjoys national distribution. But we remain committed to our roots of using top-quality plant extracts and therapeutic muds to craft beneficial, aromatherapeutic treatments. We offer tailored solutions for every skin and hair type at affordable drugstore prices, making indulgent self-care an everyday luxury.

At our modern facilities, we combine advanced technologies with the small-batch care that defined Queen Helene’s process. We rigorously test each formula to ensure it delivers the dramatic yet gentle effectiveness synonymous with the Queen Helene® name.

We believe caring for yourself should feel good and do good. That’s why every nourishing Queen Helene® preparation is 100% cruelty-free and made ethically in the USA. Experience the beautifying power of nature’s finest ingredients formulated to transform skin and hair.

Our Clients Thought

Jessica Thompson

As someone who loves trying new skincare products, I've purchased my fair share of face masks and treatments over the years. But none have come close to the amazing deep cleansing results I get from the Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque! The first time I used it, I was amazed by how much gunk it pulled out of my pores - my face felt squeaky clean afterwards. Yet it didn't overdry or irritate my sensitive skin, thanks to the addition of soothing rosewater and glycerin. Now I use this masque once a week and my complexion has never looked better! The price point makes it easy to treat myself to this luxurious spa-like facial at home. I’m hooked on the Queen Helene brand now and can’t wait to try more of their skincare treats!

Michael Davis

With my hair constantly getting dried out and damaged from styling, treatments, and color processing, I'm always on the hunt for a conditioning mask that can bring my strands back to life. I picked up Queen Helene's Cholesterol Hair Conditioning Cream and I'm blown away by how deeply moisturizing it is! After just one use, my hair is softer, smoother, and shinier than it’s been in months. The rich formula quenched my parched strands better than any product I've tried. It goes on thick but rinses clean with no greasy residue. I love that a little bit goes a long way too, making it well worth the affordable price tag. This is now a staple for restoring hydration and strength to my hair between salon visits!

Sarah Kim

As someone with extremely dry, sensitive skin, finding an effective body moisturizer that doesn't cause irritation has been a challenge. Many lotions I've tried just sit on top of my skin without really hydrating. So I decided to take a chance on Queen Helene's fast-absorbing Hemp Seed Oil Body Moisturizer. After a single use, my skin felt nourished for the first time in ages! The hydration lasts all day too. I was also pleasantly surprised that it didn’t leave any oily residue. My skin drinks up the antioxidants from the hemp seed oil and feels smooth and elastic again. Plus a little goes a long way, making this large bottle well worth the low price. I’m thrilled to finally find my new holy grail daily body moisturizer.

James Robinson

I used the Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Cream religiously for years to relieve my extremely dry hands during winter. When the formula was discontinued, I tried countless replacements but nothing matched the intense moisturizing power of that old standby cream. Then I found the new Queen Helene Advanced Formula Cocoa Butter Cream - if anything, it's even better than the original! My rough, cracked hands instantly soak up the ultra-rich hydration, leaving them remarkably smooth and soft all season long. The luxurious texture glides over skin, packing a nourishing punch of antioxidant Vitamin E too. I'm beyond thrilled that Queen Helene brought back this winter skin savior with an improved formula. My hands have never felt so touchably soft and supple!

Maggie White

I've always shied away from using thick, heavy creams on my combination skin for fear they'd clog my pores. But in my 40s, I really needed more moisture. Queen Helene's Special Formula Vanishing Cream is the perfect lightweight yet intensely hydrating solution I've been seeking! It glides onto my skin with a silky velvety feel that disappears completely without any greasy residue. But the nourishing effects last all day long. My skin looks plumped and dewy, not oily. The addition of aloe vera provides a cooling, soothing sensation too. I'm amazed how this unique vanishing cream formula intensely quenches my skin without clogging. It provides just the right balance of lasting hydration I need, and at an amazingly affordable price. I’m hooked!

FAQs

The Queen Helene brand has its origins back in 1930, when a remarkable woman named Queen Helene began handcrafting her own unique skincare preparations using natural ingredients like honey and avocado. As word spread about the amazing results her creams and masques produced, demand grew rapidly. Eventually Queen Helene began bottling and selling her transformative formulas like the famous Mint Julep Masque, which started the masquing trend. While Queen Helene herself passed away in the late 1980s, her pioneering natural skin and haircare brand lives on today.

Queen Helene sets itself apart by using high concentrations of natural plant extracts, antioxidant oils, and therapeutic muds to craft skin and hair treatments that actually deliver real results. The affordable price points also make these efficacious formulas accessible to everyone. Queen Helene has never strayed from its roots of using top-quality natural ingredients to create everyday luxuries.

Queen Helene masques provide a much deeper level of pore cleansing and skin conditioning compared to regular hydrating masks. Formulas like the Mint Julep Masque contain active natural clays that draw out dirt, oil and impurities from deep within pores as they tighten and tone the skin. Other ingredients like rosewater, glycerin and aloe vera then soothe and replenish the complexion, leaving it smooth, soft and revitalized.

Virtually all skin types can enjoy Queen Helene products. The brand offers specialized formulas tailored for normal, dry, oily, sensitive, or combination skin. Most contain gentle, non-irritating natural plant extracts and oils that provide targeted treatment suitable for all. However, those with highly reactive skin should always patch test on the arm before applying any new skincare product to the face as a precaution.

The Mint Julep Masque is designed for weekly use to draw out impurities without over-drying the skin. However, it may be used up to three times a week if desired. Those with dry or sensitive skin may prefer just once or twice weekly to avoid stripping the skin. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs.

This intensive hair treatment is enriched with cholesterol and natural oils to replenish moisture, softness and shine to dry, damaged strands. It deeply conditions while strengthening hair and preventing breakage. The rich formula is ideal for processed, overworked and heat-styled hair in need of rejuvenation.

Queen Helene’s Hemp Seed Oil Body Moisturizer deeply hydrates thanks to moisture-binding hemp seed oil. This lightweight, fast-absorbing lotion also contains antioxidants and omega fatty acids to repair dry skin and improve elasticity. The formula is ideal for extremely parched skin in need of intensive daily nourishment and protection.

Absolutely not! Queen Helene is proudly 100% cruelty free. No animals are ever used to test the safety or efficacy of products. All formulas undergo rigorous clinical safety testing to ensure they are gentle, beneficial and suitable for human use.

All Queen Helene skin and haircare preparations are proudly made in the USA at our state-of-the-art production facilities.
