In Lyon, dermocosmetology draws its resources from the rich tissue fabric of its chemical industry, where the raw materials are given a breath of innovation by the life sciences. The field also benefits from the presence of world-class competitive biotechnology clusters based in Lyon such as Lyonbiopôle, Axelera and Techtera.
Dermatology and cosmetology are a significant part of the medical research in France. A fusion of both dermatological and beauty treatment, dermocosmetology is one of the health sector’s most dynamic industries. Raw materials and active ingredients, formulation, processing, specialist service providers in skin biometrology, packaging… The region has all the links in the chain, having welcomed nearly 160 enterprises of the chemical and pharmaceutical industry in this region of France. Tapping into a long tradition in the sphere of life sciences, the Lyon region offers an unrivalled skills base which is constantly being renewed, boasting 30 000 students, 9 000 researchers and 510 laboratories.

As a leading region in the medical research in France, L'Oréal is growing in Lyon
The new predictive evaluation center of L’Oréal: according to L’Oréal, this is a premiere in the cosmetics industry. Benefiting from the local business development opportunities, 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.
The European Dermocosmetology Center (CED), Your future network are here…
The roles of CED :
• Promoting dermocosmetology in France and abroad
• Organizing events to enhance understanding of matters pertinent to the profession
• Promoting interdisciplinary research projects with existing competitive clusters (biology, plastics processing, leatherwork, the textile industry, the chemical industry in France, etc.)
• Adapting dermocosmetics education to the industry’s needs and submitting
