History

L'Oréal Paris is originally a French company. It is the world's largest cosmetics company. The story begins in 1909 when Eugène Paul Louis Schueller, a French chemist, developed a hair color called Auréale. Mr Schueller developed and manufactured his own products, which he then sold to hairdressers and hairdressing salons in Paris. In 1919, Mr. Schueller registered his company and the company's focus was on research and innovation in the field of beauty products. It was this company that would then be L'Oréal Paris.

In 1920, three chemists were employed and by the year 1950 the company had grown significantly to over 100 employees. In 1984, the company had 1 000 employees and today there are over 20 000 working with L'Oréal Paris.

L'Oréal Paris got its start when it comes to hair colors but pretty soon the company grew to also indulge in other beauty products. Today L'Oréal Paris has over 500 brands and thousands of individual products in all segments of the beauty industry such as hair color, hair care, hårpermanent, hairstyling, body care, skin care, makeup, cosmetics and fragrances. L'Oréal Paris products are distributed through everything from hairdressing salons to shopping malls and pharmacies.

Over the years L'Oréal Paris has made several acquisitions of other companies to broaden its focus areas and to grow. It may be mentioned that in 2006, L'Oréal Paris bought the Body Shop.

L'Oréal Paris has six research and development centers worldwide; Two in France, one in the United States, one in Japan, one in China and one in India. In these research and development centres L'Oréal Paris has accomplished a lot, among other things they have created the epic which is a reconstructed skin model that L'Oréal Paris can test its products on because they are against animal experiments. Epicin can also be produced in several different types as well as colors which makes it really similar to normal skin and the testing of L'Oréal Paris products gets better and more reliable results. L'Oréal Paris also dedicates itself to 3d prints of human skin and has a collaboration with Bioprint company Organovo.
