The L'Oreal Mafia
In 1909, a young French chemist set out to fix a basic but stubborn problem: safe, effective hair dye. Eugène Schueller’s formula laid the groundwork for L’Oréal, now the biggest player in global beauty. L’Oréal’s goal has stayed simple: make high-quality beauty products available to people everywhere. From luxury brands to drugstore staples, it has shaped trends while pushing into science, sustainability, and inclusivity. The company continues to expand its reach, influence, and definition of what beauty can be.
L’Oréal’s culture runs on experimentation, diversity, and a sharp focus on innovation. It hasn’t just built a market leader. It has also sparked the rise of independent founders who left to start the next wave of beauty companies.

The L’Oréal Mafia has founded 90 companies and raised $2.1B.
