At L’Oréal, there is no innovation without science, and that’s what has made us different since 1909. It was the original gamble that Eugène Schueller took when he created the company. Every day, more than 4,000 people work in our Research & Innovation centers around the world. They discover, invent and develop, providing a continuously improving response to the Beauty needs and aspirations of consumers, while the products they create are ever more effective, and provide the highest standards of quality and safety.
Established in 1990, L'Oréal Singapore has more than 550 employees and a Research & Innovation Center for advanced skin biology, clinical research and open innovation. The SCELSE-L’Oréal Joint Research Lab is responsible for conducting upstream research within the scope of the skin and scalp microbiome. The goal of the research team is to identify innovative concepts and raw materials for the development of novel cosmetic, dermatology, and consumer care products.
