L’Oréal has started 2025 with confidence, reporting €11.73 billion in sales for the first quarter—marking a 4.4% increase on a reported basis and 3.5% like-for-like growth. In a dynamic global beauty landscape, the Group has demonstrated resilience and innovation across its portfolio. This strong start reflects L’Oréal’s ability to navigate economic uncertainties while continuing to lead the industry in product innovation and ethical leadership.
Fragrances and premium haircare were standout categories this quarter, while divisions like L’Oréal Luxe and Dermatological Beauty drove robust gains across regions.
