Beauty: Anchored in European Excellence

The beauty sector represents a true area of European excellence, and Europe remains a key market for L’Oréal, accounting for a third (33%) of the Group’s revenues in 2024. Even in an uncertain economic climate, L’Oréal’s performance remains solid thanks to a unique portfolio and an agile organisation with strong European roots.

Unwavering Focus on Innovation

While L’Oréal’s research and innovation (R&I) footprint is global, advanced research is based entirely in France. The Group files around 500-700 patents each year, predominantly in Europe. L’Oréal was ranked no. 1 in Fortune magazine’s list of the “Most Innovative Companies in Europe”.

Rooted in Responsible Beauty

Environmental sustainability and social progress are fundamental to L’Oréal’s European strategy. In Europe, all L’Oréal-operated sites use 100% renewable energy, and the Group is heavily focused on promoting refillable products.
