On June 30, 2014, the FTC said L’Oréal USA agreed to a proposed settlement over alleged deceptive claims for Lancôme Génifique and L’Oréal Paris Youth Code. The complaint alleged the products targeted genes to provide anti-aging benefits. The proposal would restrict such claims without reliable scientific evidence; it was subject to public comment and a final FTC decision.
Cosmetics company L’Oréal USA, Inc. has agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission charges of deceptive advertising about its Lancôme Génifique and L’Oréal Paris Youth Code skincare products. According to the FTC’s complaint, L’Oréal made false and unsubstantiated claims that its Génifique and Youth Code products provided anti-aging benefits by targeting users’ genes.
OpenSecrets reported $22,685 in 2022-cycle political contributions associated with L’Oréal SA, including subsidiaries and affiliates. The funds came entirely from individuals, not the organization, and went to candidates, party committees, leadership PACs and outside groups. The recipient list included both Democratic and Republican candidates and committees.
