This 130-year-old Maryland cosmetics company is known worldwide

Tins and tubes of Rosebud Perfume Co.’s lip balms and salve are sold worldwide. But the company has humble Maryland origins. Tucked away on Woodsboro, Frederick County’s charming and unassuming Main Street is the headquarters of the lip product company. Bright stained glass frames the entranceway and spells out “ROSEBUD BUILDING.”

On a recent Tuesday morning, Linda S. Pruitt-Michielli, the company’s president, sits with two of her cousins, Vice President Mary Jo Zentz and Executive Secretary Ida Lee, in the building’s back office.

The cousins, along with employees Dana Snyder and Betty Smith, work surrounded by antiques from the company’s long history, while communicating with major brands and filling orders for consumers across the world. Read more in our bio.
