NEW YORK (CNN) -- Cosmetics mogul Estee Lauder, whose pioneering ideas opened worldwide markets for her products, died Saturday. She was 97. Lauder died of cardiopulmonary arrest at her home in Manhattan, said Sally Susman, an Estee Lauder Companies Inc. spokeswoman. Susman said Lauder retired in 1994 and has not been involved in the company since then. Her son, Leonard, is now chairman. There are 18 Estee Lauder companies, Susman said. Among them are Estee Lauder, Clinque, Aveda, Aramis and Prescriptives. Estee Lauder Companies was formally launched in 1946, with what the company Web site says was a skin cream developed by her chemist uncle.
