THE WHAT? L’Oréal has announced a new global model for fragrance ingredient disclosure as part of its industry-advancing transparency initiatives.
THE DETAILS Work on the disclosure model began three years ago, with the analysis of more than 20,000 fragranced formulas.
Working for mass market products as well as fine fragrance, L’Oréal worked with suppliers Firmenich, Givaudan, IFF & Mane on the disclosure model.
Roll out began in the U.S. with Atelier Cologne, Garnier and Yves Saint Laurent, which are already live. A global roll out will follow.
THE WHY? As well as being a list of ingredients, the aim of the model is to promote understanding about the origin of ingredients, their olfactory values, and how they work together to create the fragrances in their products.
The company said, “This announcement is a further step in the Group’s commitment to transparency, following the launch of Inside Our Products website in 2019 to inform consumers about the ingredients in its product formulas, the Product impact Labelling initiative in 2020 to provide information about the social and environmental impact of its products, and a Transparency Summit focused on L’Oréal’s Green Sciences commitments held in March 2021.”
Barbara Lavernos, Deputy Chief Executive Officer L’Oréal, in charge of Research, Innovation and Technology, said, “Our commitment to rigorous scientific research and standards is what built our longstanding trust with our customers. Now, with this new voluntary fragrance disclosure model, we are letting our customers know we hear their desire for not only more information about already available ingredients but also for their deep understanding.”
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.
