THE WHAT? L’Oréal has been awarded the Terra Carta 2021 Seal, which recognises global companies driving innovation and demonstrating their commitment to the creation of genuinely sustainable markets.
THE DETAILS The Seal has been awarded to companies whose ambitions are aligned with those of the Terra Carta, a recovery plan for ‘nature, people and planet,’ launched in January 2021.
L’Oréal is one of 45 companies that has been awarded the Seal, with the company working towards aligning with the 1.5C goal and reducing its greenhouse gas emissions of all scopes by 50 percent per finished product (25 percent in absolute terms), by 2030.
As part of its L’Oréal for the Future sustainability program, it also aims to to help restore one million hectares of degraded ecosystems by 2030, thanks to the L’Oréal Fund for Nature Regeneration – a 50 million euro impact investing fund.
THE WHY? The award is given to companies in a leadership position within their industries, and who have ‘solid roadmaps underpinned by globally recognised, scientific metrics for achieving net zero by 2050 or earlier.’
His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales, said: “The Terra Carta Seal recognises those organisations which have made a serious commitment to a future that is much more sustainable, and puts Nature, People and the Planet at the heart of the economy. We all need to make changes if we are to preserve the planet for our children and grandchildren and these businesses have pledged to make it easier for us all to do so.”
Aesthetic medicine products are developed and regulated to meet stringent safety and efficacy standards. They are typically administered by trained healthcare professionals such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and specialized nurses in clinical settings. These products aim to provide effective solutions for cosmetic enhancement, skin rejuvenation, and overall aesthetic improvement, contributing to both physical appearance and self-confidence.
Key categories of aesthetic medicine products include:
-
Injectables: This category includes products such as dermal fillers, botulinum toxins (e.g., Botox), and collagen stimulators. These injectables are used to smooth wrinkles, add volume, and improve facial contours.
-
Skin Rejuvenation Treatments: Products like chemical peels, microdermabrasion systems, and laser devices are used to improve skin texture, reduce pigmentation irregularities, and enhance overall skin tone.
-
Skincare Products: These include medical-grade cleansers, moisturizers, serums, and topical treatments containing active ingredients like retinoids, antioxidants, and growth factors. They are formulated to address specific skin concerns such as acne, aging, and hyperpigmentation.
-
Hair Restoration Products: Medical treatments and products designed to promote hair growth and treat conditions such as male and female pattern baldness.
-
Body Contouring and Fat Reduction: Devices and products used for non-surgical body sculpting, such as cryolipolysis (cool sculpting) devices and injectable lipolytics.
-
Cosmeceuticals: High-performance skincare products that bridge the gap between cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, often containing potent ingredients with proven clinical benefits.
-
Wound Care and Scar Management: Products like silicone sheets, gels, and advanced wound dressings used to improve healing and reduce the appearance of scars.
