Kryolan is a world-wide cosmetics company founded and headquartered in Berlin, Germany. By some estimates, Kryolan creates two-thirds of global production of professional makeup for film, TV and theater.[1]

History

Kryolan was founded in 1945 in post World War II Berlin. Kryolan's Hollywood breakthrough came with the face masks used in the 1968 feature film Planet of the Apes.[1] After intensive rebranding, Kryolan launched its "Make-Up Is A Science" campaign,[when?] which continues to this day.

The German trade Association "The Family Entrepreneurs" (Die Familienunternehmer) honors Arnold Langer in Berlin as the "Family Entrepreneur of the Year".[when?]

In media

Kryolan was featured in season 3 of the American reality competition television series RuPaul's Drag Race, wherein thirteen drag queens competed for a prize package that included a "lifetime supply" of Kryolan makeup.
