L'Oréal Group Collaborates to Advance Skin Health
L'Oréal Group has signed a strategic partnership with Verily, Alphabet's health technology company, to advance two programs aimed at better understanding skin biology and helping each consumer develop personalized skin care routines.
L'Oréal Group and Verily, Alphabet's health technology company, are entering into a strategic partnership to advance skin health. The first-of-its-kind collaboration in the beauty sector encompasses two programs designed to better understand and characterize skin and hair aging mechanisms.
The first program will leverage L'Oréal Group's scientific skin expertise and Verily's comprehensive clinical science capabilities to conduct research establishing a biological, clinical and environmental perspective on skin health. In the second program, L'Oréal Group's Active Cosmetics division and Verily's R&D team will work together to develop solutions using sensors, artificial intelligence algorithms and tele-diagnosis to address dermatological conditions.
Nicolas Hieronimus, CEO of L'Oréal Group: "Our centuries-long commitment to leading innovation stems from our strong belief in the intersection between our science, formulations and unique research capabilities to unlock the code of revolutionary scientific discoveries that will shape the future of beauty. Through this partnership, we want to lead a new era of skin health, delivering to our consumers around the world through technology and science inclusive, personalized, powerful and gentle programs for their skin," he said.
