L'Oréal is the parent company of the skincare brand La Roche-Posay.
La Roche-Posay is part of L'Oréal's Dermatological Beauty division, which also includes brands such as CeraVe, Vichy, and Skinbetter Science. The brand is associated with products formulated for sensitive skin and with the use of thermal spring water from La Roche-Posay in France.
L'Oréal acquired the company behind La Roche-Posay in 1989. The brand's history reaches back to a French dermatological skincare business founded in the twentieth century. Its products are distributed through pharmacies, dermatology channels, and retailers in many countries.
L'Oréal was founded in 1909 by chemist Eugène Schueller and began with hair-dye products. It grew into one of the world's largest cosmetics groups, with divisions spanning professional products, consumer products, luxury, and dermatological beauty. L'Oréal is publicly listed in France and has often ranked among Europe's most valuable companies by market capitalization.
