History
The company was founded in 1983 by Wojciech Inglot, a Polish entrepreneur from Przemyśl. He was born on June 11, 1955, in the Polish People's Republic and graduated in chemistry from the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. He opened the first state-owned plant in the early 1980s. It specialized in the production of pharmaceuticals. After the fall of communism in Poland, he bought his own chemical equipment from the government and gradually focused on the manufacturing of cosmetics. In 1987, his company released its first nail polish.{{cite news|url=https://www.beautylish.com/a/vxnpv/history-of-inglot-cosmetics |title=Beauty History Lesson: Inglot Cosmetics, from Pharmaceutical Factory to Makeup Giant |access-date=2017-12-27}} In 2006, the company opened its first store abroad in Montreal, Canada.
