The Board of Directors of L’Oréal, which met on June 29th,

buyback programme launched on June 15th, 2004, under which twenty one millions
eight hundred and forty thousand shares have been bought back for an amount of

L’ORÉAL REWARDS MARKETING MINDS OF THE WORLD
6/22/2005
%2007-Nov-2007_files/image004.gif){kind=small}
Paris, 21 June, 2005—Their teams of
students from around the world competed last night in the race to win the title
for the most innovative and brilliant marketer. Students were rated on
creativity, market analysis, coherence with the brand’s values, communications
skills and team presentation style. The fate of the finalists was decided by a
high profile jury made up of L’Oréal’s top management including L’Oréal’s
Chairman and CEO, Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones, Executive Vice-President Consumer
Products, Patrick Rabin; Executive Vice President for Human Restheirces-Geoff
Skingsley; General Manager of L’Oréal Paris, Nicolas Hieronimus, and special
guest-Mc Cann Erickson’s CEO, John Dooner.
This year’s champions were the Swiss team “Bamboo” from Université St Gall. They presented a new miniature-size
packaging for L’Oréal’s Studio Line FX range. Runners-up in second place was the
Australian dynamic trio “The Beasties” from Monash University with Studio Line
FX Extreme, followed by shared third place Malaysians “Osirians” from
University Teknologi Malaysia with “Trust The Instincts” mobile Studio Line FX
range and South Africa’s all-girls’ team “Sisonke” from University of Cape Town
with Studio Line Climatize range. The Best Communication Campaign award went to
the “Chile Challengers” from Chile’s Universidad Adolfo Ibañez with Dare.
Launched in 1993, L’Oréal Brandstorm is an international marketing competition
that provides undergraduate marketing and graduate MA students a golden
opportunity to design a new product line for an existing L’Oréal brand. This
year’s brand case study was L’Oréal Studio Line styling products. L’Oréal
provides all participants with a real life marketing experience: an in-depth
brief on the brand and the market, a chance to meet face to face with a
professional marketing executive and a unique opportunity to work with the
brand’s communication agency developing a full communications campaign that
includes product mock-ups, posters, and ads.
President of the jury, CEO and Chairman, Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones, declared: “One
of the secrets of L'Oréal's success is its spectacularly international and
culturally diverse workforce.”
L’Oréal Brandstorm provides the L’Oréal group with an opportunity to recruit
international talents. Already in its 13th year, the competition has attracted
over 14,000 students from more than 176 schools around the world, allowing L’Oréal
marketing managers and human restheirces recruiters to identify talented
potential employees in action.
Last year’s winners described L’Oreal Brandstorm as fun, challenging and
intense. Most admitted that the element of exposure to the real-life marketing
world and brand management was what drove them to participate.
Top prizes for last night’s competition include an exciting trip to fashion
capitals of the world and the chance to become a marketing product manager at
L’Oréal for real!

L’OREAL
TO ACQUIRE SKINCEUTICALS
Strategic
acquisition of a leading professional skin care brand in the USA
L’Oréal, the world’s largest beauty company, announced today that it has signed
an agreement to acquire SkinCeuticals, a professional skin care company.
Founded in 1994 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, SkinCeuticals, a privately
held company, is one of the largest and fastest growing brands in the
professional premium skin care market in the U.S. Through a strong and
specialized distribution network, the company sells to dermatologists, plastic
surgeons, and high end spas. Skin Ceuticals sales in 2004 amounted to 35$M.
“The acquisition of SkinCeuticals allows L’Oréal to strengthen its position in
high-performance professional skin care,” said Lindsay Owen-Jones, Chairman and
CEO of L’Oréal. “This market, in which SkinCeuticals is a leading player, is a
particularly promising one with high international potential.”
“SkinCeuticals has already acquired an excellent reputation in the U.S.
dermatological world,” commented Jean-Paul Agon, President and CEO of L’Oréal
USA. “This acquisition will also allow L’Oréal to enter the strong and growing
market of high end spas in the U.S.”
“They are delighted to join forces with an organization that is not only the
world’s largest cosmetics company, but whose commitment and investment in
research and development is unsurpassed in the industry”, said Alden Pinnell,
co-founder of SkinCeuticals.
SkinCeuticals will be part of the Active Cosmetics Division of L’Oréal, which
has recently experienced strong growth. This acquisition further enhances an
already strong portfolio of brands of American origin, such as Ralph Lauren,
Redken, Maybelline, SoftSheen-Carson, Matrix and Kiehl’s.
The transaction will become final upon the customary closing conditions,
including antitrust clearance.
From its beginnings, the L'Oréal Group has developed activities in the field of
cosmetics, and is the world leader in the cosmetics industry.
The L'Oreal Group is also
active in luxury goods and in the dermatological and pharmaceutical fields
Research activities are focused on three subjects: skin,
hair and color.
In the depth of skin
L'Oreal
searches for the most innovative ways of providing skin with the elements
essential to its equilibrium. Preserving the skin health, preventing the
chronological aging and photoaging due to UV rays, transport active compounds
in situ,so many areas of L'Oreal research.
Here are some examples of means employed to achieve these objectives:
Human Skin Models: L'Oreal Research teams have developed these
three-dimensional cultures by introducing skin cell types such as
keratinocytes, melanocytes and Langerhans cells.
Vectorisation:
from liposomes to nanocapsules, these nanometric vectors improve the efficacy
of care products.
Skin imaging: L'Oreal has improved imaging techniques over the last 30 years to
enable the study of the skin and assess the effects of care products. Confocal
microscopy, ultrasonic imaging and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are a few
of the methods used by L'Oreal.
A
pioneer in the field of hair study
For
L'Oreal, hair is a real scientific adventure. Worldwide, its laboratories are engaged
in research on the subject. Whether Caucasian, African or Asian hair,
biologists are interested in the living follicle, while biophysicists and
chemists are concerned by the fiber. Several generations of researchers have
now gained unique scientific knowledge on hair and haircare products. Insight
into how the hair is constituted has resulted in the development of :
·
longer-lasting hair color,
· biomimetic molecules such as certain ceramides which ensure hair surface cells cohesion,
· softer cleansing agents in shampoos and conditioners in the form of lacquer or gel
Studying the different intimate components of the hair follicle, by cultivating
hair in vitro, is one of the aims of "hair biology" teams.
Color
Working at the cutting-edge of technology, L'Oreal Research is today
investigating new make-up effects such as transforming colors by "trompe
l'œil" optic phenomena.
In the field of haircolor, L'Oreal now uses an exclusive collection of 13,000
colorants.
Nature provides a valuable inspiration for finding new pigments using
biotechnology.
