L'Oréal is growing in Lyon
The new predictive evaluation centre of L’oreal: according to L’Oréal, this is a premiere in the cosmetics industry. The world’s leading personal care manufacturer has just inaugurated in Lyon, France, a centre dedicated to the predictive evaluation of the safety and efficacy of cosmetics ingredients and finished products.
Continuing L’Oréal’s operations in skin engineering dedicated to safety assessment, in particular through its Episkin SNC subsidiary, the new Predictive Evaluation Centre is the outcome of 30 years of research and investments.
Its main purpose ? To address L’Oréal’s ambition “to remain a pioneer in the technological advancement of evaluation and innovation,” says Jean-Paul Agon, the group’s President and CEO. Indeed, L’Oréal already handles several tools and softwares and reconstructed human tissues, and has gained expertise in technologies such as tissue engineering, molecule design, imaging, modelling and automated test platforms, that allow the group to reduce the number of clinical tests as well as time to market.
