L'Oreal
L’OREAL is the world leader in the cosmetic industry and continues to be a science and innovation driven company since its creation more than 110 years. It was created by a startup entrepreneur, Eugene Schueller, who started to develop in his garage an innovative hair coloration. Since then, innovation and entrepreneurship have been the DNA of L’Oreal with a motto: ‘seize what starts’ to create the beauty that moves the world. With a world in constant change and evolution, L’Oreal wants to be at the forefront to create the Future of Beauty that will be sustainable and inclusive. We believe that new tech & innovative business models are going to profoundly change the beauty consumer experience for the better.
