History
In 1990, a group of Russian researchers studied the effects of space travel on astronauts. Part of their clinical research was to address the effects of sagging skin, which resulted in developing Premier's first products. In the same year Premier's Center for Research was established together with its current owners, and five skincare products were developed. In 1994, Premier's first products received awards in the cosmetic field in Europe. In 1997, Premier launched its own skincare line in Israel and later abroad. By 1999, Premier Cosmetics held the largest share of cosmetics exports from Israel to Japan, and is currently one of the biggest cosmetics exporter from Israel.

Controversy
Although Dead Sea Premier Cosmetics' laboratories and suppliers operate within Israel's undisputed territories, the company has become a target for boycott-of-Israel campaigns, particularly in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Most economic boycotts against Israel target businesses running from within the disputed occupied territories, but some campaigners do not always distinguish between the two regions.
The tactics of Dead Sea products (Although not Premier Dead Sea products) sales staff have come under fire as overly aggressive. In 2014, LynnMall in Auckland in New Zealand evicted a Dead Sea products kiosk after its staff bullied an 82-year-old woman into buying $5,000 worth of cosmetics. Another similar problem happened when a man with short-term memory loss was tricked into spending more than $13,000 on Dead Sea Spa cosmetics at Sylvia Park.
