ROSA GRAF

October 1st, 1926 was the birth of the cosmetics line of "ROSA GRAF". That day Paul Graf husband of Mrs. Rosa Graf founded a cosmetics laboratory so that he could produce skincare for his wife's care salon for the beauty-conscious ladies of Leipzig... Initially, only a few products were produced in the laboratory. Later on, this developed into a complete line of skincare and some make-up. In 1928, the laboratory started to supply other beauticians, first, in the immediate area but later, up until the outbreak of the Second World War, the products were marketed throughout Germany under the trade names Bergilot, Elramo, Tonikumyn and, of course, Rosa Graf. During the war, production was drastically restricted because producing cosmetics was not considered particularly important. In 1943 the house in which the beauty salon and the cosmetics laboratory were located was completely destroyed and the business was closed... No cosmetics can restore lost youth but, if they are used correctly..
