L'Oréal was founded in 1909 through the genius of French chemist Eugène Schueller who developed an innovative hair dye formula called Oréale for women who wanted to have blond hair. This formula was truly unlike anything else on the market as it was safe to use, and it was then sold to Parisian hairdressers and marked the beginning of its rise to becoming a cosmetic giant.
