In the fall of 1935, Dr. Austin Curtis started working as George Washington Carver's lab assistant. Dr. Curtis learned about the characteristics of the peanut from George Washington Carver. Dr. Curtis founded Curtis Labs after Carver died in 1944. Dr. Curtis was able to sell some of Dr. Curtis and George Washington Carver co-developed peanut based cosmetic products through the new company he established, Curtis Labs. Dr. Curtis was able to make available to the public for the first time some of the wonderful peanut based cosmetic products that George Washington Carver heavily influenced. The Styling Wax, Sage & Sulphur, and S&H Scalp Conditioner are a few of the wonderful peanut based cosmetic products that he sold.
