Max Factor Being Pulled from US Stores

The cosmetics company founded by the man who coined the word "makeup" is about to disappear from US store shelves. Max Factor, now owned by Proctor & Gamble is more popular in other countries than in the US and P&G is going to stop distributing Max Factor products in America.

Max Factor, born Maximillian Faktorowicz, invented the first pan cake makeup and the first lip gloss, both necessary for motion pictures old. In the early days of Hollywood, the name Max Factor meant beauty and glamor.

Max Factor products will still be available in more than 70 other countries, but not in the US as of next year. So, if you have a special product you can't live without, it might be time to stock up.
