Eugene Rimmel (1820-1887) was a French perfumer and businessman responsible for manufacturing and marketing some of the earliest commercially made cosmetics. He joined his father's perfumery business in London's Bond Street in 1834 and founded House of Rimmel. They went on to produce their first cosmetic products the same year. He and his father introduced the first commercial non-toxic mascara product. It became so popular that rimmel is to this day the word for mascara in several languages including French, Italian and Turkish.

Rimmel's cosmetics brand, Rimmel, is now owned by Coty Inc.
