Celebrating 25 years in the region, L'Oréal, the world leader of beauty, reaffirms its dedication to catalyzing change in the region’s beauty industry and making a positive impact on its communities.
L'Oréal was first introduced to the Middle East in the 1960s, through local distribution partners streamlining the sale of its products. In 1998, L'Oréal recognized the vast potential of the beauty market in the region and opened its regional office to establish a presence closer to its consumers. The Group reinforced its regional presence by opening L'Oréal Saudi Arabia in 2011, followed by L'Oréal UAE in 2017.
Since L'Oréal’s inception in the Middle East, the Group has focused on developing the beauty industry while launching purpose-led initiatives on sustainability, women's empowerment, youth employability, and innovation.
It aims to continue creating new programs and forging collaborations that will foster social change and influence the future of beauty in the region.
