Our History

The Fondation L’Oréal is the corporate Fondation of the L’Oréal Group and was formed to empower women to shape their future and make a difference in society.

Founded in 2007, the Fondation L’Oréal is the corporate Fondation of the L’Oréal Group. As a beauty industry leader, L’Oréal has a longstanding commitment to contribute positively to the needs of society, using its expertise as a force for good. In this way, we have brought increased consistency to its efforts to empower women, advance scientific knowledge and support vulnerable people.

For Women in Science

L’Oréal, since 1998, and the Fondation L’Oréal, since 2007, have worked with UNESCO to empower more women scientists to overcome barriers to progression and participate in solving the great challenges of our time – for the benefit of all.

Inclusive Beauty

Women and ClimateAt the Fondation L’Oréal, we are convinced that beauty can play a central role in helping vulnerable, underprivileged, or marginalized people to regain their self-esteem, develop confidence and improve their well-being. It can even help people rediscover their place in society.

 “Only 12% of people affected by cancer have access to beauty and wellness therapy. This is not enough.”

Women and Climate

Women are on the frontline of the climate crisis, disproportionately affected by extreme weather and natural disasters, yet still underrepresented and disadvantaged in many of the disciplines that will be vital to the global climate transition. Through our partnerships, we aim to empower women to lead climate action and raise awareness of the importance of gender-equal climate solutions.
