L’Oréal has set itself the mission of offering all women and men worldwide the best of cosmetics innovation in terms of quality, efficacy and safety. Here is a close-up on the Group’s latest stories.

Formed in 1994, L’Oréal India is a transformative beauty leader, providing consumers with sophisticated, safe, high quality and effective beauty products

Our full commitment to L’Oréal’s 2020 road map includes a solid assurance to pursue sustainable growth. We market a total of 15 brands and use all the available distribution channels: mass market (L’Oréal Paris, Garnier, Maybelline New-York and NYX Professional Make up); hair and beauty salons (L’Oréal Professionnel, Matrix, Kérastase, Cheryl’s Cosmeceuticals and Decleor); and selective distribution (Kiehl’s, Yves Saint Laurent, Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Diesel and Guy Laroche).

We employ more than 1,600 people across five regional locations, with two manufacturing facilities in Chakan (Pune) and Baddi (Himachal Pradesh), which cater to 90% of India’s requirements, two Research and Innovation facilities, and our headquarters in Mumbai.

The R&I facilities comprise a Product Development Center in Mumbai and an Advanced Research Center in Bangalore. Together, they represent one of L’Oréal’s six global R&I hubs and meet the needs of all three lines of business – hair, skin care and make-up.

At L’Oréal, we care for animal welfare and we do not test on animals. We are for beauty with no animal testing.

Since 1989, 14 years before the "EU" regulations required us to do so, we have not tested the safety of our products on animals.
Because we care about animal welfare, over 40 years ago, L’Oréal pioneered the development of human reconstructed skin that can be used to evaluate how cosmetic ingredients and products behave on human skin.
