In the 2023 L'Oréal Annual Report, Deputy CEO Barbara Lavernos in charge of Research, Innovation and Technology said something beautiful:
“Shifting from "beauty for all" to "beauty for each.”
As a dermatologist, it’s so important to ensure we match products that are not just suitable for any patient or consumer, but rather help each person find products that are optimal for their specific needs.
All Skin, a tech platform built by dermatologists, is helping to solve this exact issue, leveraging dermatologist thinking with data science and computing power to match the right products to the right people, while also providing brands and retailers unmatched consumer insights to keep innovating.

*Finding Leadership Inspiration in Fashion*
This weekend, I attended the "Fashion Reimagined" event, organized by the wonderful Michelle Pozon, Céline Alexis Buehrer, @SophieLlyod , The Next Turn. Lisbon at the Goethe-Institut Portugal
As someone with limited touch points in the fashion industry beyond being a consumer, there were many eye-opening moments and valuable lessons:
- Work with what you have: there's no need to buy more, fancier, newer clothes. There's an art to giving new life to beloved garments (aka there's an art to using your strenghts to your advantage).
- Reframe: unexpected mixing and matching might lead to magic (aka new insights can result into new explorations that will benefit you tremendously).
- Redefine Success: if we focus only on profit and moving up, up, and up, there's no end in sight to the (unintentional) damage. By rethinking and redefining success, we can create a change that is not only beneficial for the company, but for the community and the planet too - and let's not forget the beneficial impact on our (mental) well-being.
A real highlight of the day was not just the screening of "Fashion Reimagined" - a documentary that follows Amy Powney - creative director of Mother of Pearl - and her team to challenge the norms and ignite real change in the industry, but the Q&A that followed with her, Tiffanie Darke, Ana Silva Tavares from RDDTextiles and Joana Frazão Duarte from BÉHEN .
They celebrated successes and the implemented changes, while also opening up about the challenges, being critical of shortcomings, and honestly sharing the many more improvements that need to happen.
Not one of us can do this alone. But we can aim to do the absolute most one can do, and together, maybe, we can create the change that is so needed.

Can #Beauty and #Technology go hand in hand to provide meaningful solutions to customers?
During my experience in the #BeautyTech division of L'Oréal and this edition of #Vivatech, I developed 3 key thoughts on the use of technology in the beauty industry:
🔬 Tech is a competitive tool to #innovate: through new technologies, brands can launch products to disrupt new markets and explore new sources of revenues. This is the case with #AirlightPro, which utilizes infrared technology to revolutionize the hair dryer category.
🛠️ Tech can act as a #service to support traditional product offers: new devices can expand a client’s service portfolio by recommending products based on each customer’s specifications. #ColorReader and #MyHairID are designed to assist hairdressers in providing accurate scalp and hair diagnostics, ensuring personalized and precise hair care solutions for every client.
🛍️ Tech to pioneering the online/offline #experience: luxury brands are leveraging technology to enhance customer experience both online and in-store. #BeautyGenius is an AI-powered tool that recommends the perfect products based on individual needs, making beauty shopping smarter and more personalized.
While technological advancements are crucial to keep leadership in a market, the true challenge of an effective marketing strategy in Beauty Tech lies in aligning these innovations with the #brandequity, answering 3 important questions:
1) Why do I want to offer a new product/experience?
2) Is this solution aligned to my brand's purpose?
3) What added value am I bringing to my clients?
It's essential to create a meaningful connection between each brand's DNA and their customers, ensuring that every tech solution resonates with the essence of brands and delivers valuable experiences to their customers.

Caring and acting for the respect of Perfumery and the Perfumers.
To the 342 persons who have “liked” this video and to the public and fashion designers who probably do not know, please find below another take on it:
- in a video on creativity and the “art of fragrance”, a business director sits at the fragrance organ, like working among ingredients, like a Universal Music manager at Taylor’s Swift guitar trying to play around and explaining people how we play the guitar and "always" in the same way over here at Universal.
The Master perfumer, however, is relegated to the staircase.
Btw you can tell this organ is kinda untouched expo organ, not a real hardcore organ where you actually weigh day and night. Advice for your next video: Broadway NYC would create a better set design than Paris suburbs.
More Diktat
- 2 managers trying to explain like 2 Sony managers trying to explain how you create a musical accord starting with 2 to 3 notes 🥴 Btw the official definition of an accord is at least 3 ingredients. Read the Charter of the International Perfumer’s Association. I am adding my comments to it soon.
- non, “tout l’art du parfumeur” n’est pas “de reproduire une ordeur de la nature”. I suggest you take a class in perfume education and art education before teaching. Unless, perhaps in your case, this is "all the art of the perfumer" (is exact translation) in order to replace expensive tuberose and orange flower absolutes with cheap reconstitutions and lobbying the EU for the latter. Or is it not?
- L’Oréal-Paris dictates what goes inside the bottles of more than a dozen brands from France, Italy, USA etc. Yet, according to this video, there is only one way of creating. 2-3 ingredients, accord, blablabla. Let’s have the Sony managers explain to the public that all guitarists start with the same method. Unless, perhaps in your case, you are forcing all perfumers and projects to start in your own way, the same way.
- It is well-known that the perfumers submitting to L’Oréal do not know whether they submit an idea for Cacharel, Ralph Lauren, Margiela or even at times shampoos. They submit to a so-called “basket”. Yes for Yves Saint Laurent or Victor & Rolf, you have to submit to a “basket” that feeds also into Cacharel, Lancôme or Diesel. In France we put baguette, cheese and onions in a basket. Not a wonderful woolen Yves Saint Laurent fashion piece. In any event, the “total immersion into each brand” statement could be kept a little quieter.
Constant pursuit of “subtle balance”: How diverse and respectful of each brand spirit this is too. Diesel is all about subtle balance.
- “thousands of modifications between us and the perfumers” Isn't this pure torture. Anyone should feel appalled by that.
In the same sentence you call perfumers “geniuses”, yet you impose on them thousands of mods? And what mods? I can assure you they know how to create in less than that. For the public: these modifications are all for free.
