“Strengthened by the commitments it made four years ago, the L’Oréal Foundation is pursuing
its mission with more drive and determination than ever. Good corporate citizenship is one
of the challenges L’Oréal must meet. The 2009 economic downturn bolstered our conviction
that we are on the right track as we open a new chapter in our history, that of the univer-salization of beauty.
All of our Foundation’s choices, from promoting science to fostering research, disseminating
knowledge about beauty, restoring appearances, the first step toward establishing social relations,
or carrying out actions that encourage prevention and integration, reflect one goal: to give
meaning to the profession of beauty, while illustrating L’Oréal’s values of generosity and
social responsibility.
In 2010, our worldwide programs expanded at a brisk pace. The L’Oréal-UNESCO
“For Women in Science” program awarded its first regional pan-Arab and pan-African regional fellowships, boosting support and recognition for women scientists in regions where
they are under-represented and critically needed to ensure the continent’s development.
The partnership with Doctors of the World has made it possible to recruit new volunteer surgeons from Germany and Japan and to increase the number of patients in the “Opération
Sourire” reconstructive surgery program.
On another front, that of HIV education and prevention, the “Hairdressers Against AIDS”
program set up in partnership with UNESCO has been implemented in four new countries,
including the United States, which means 500,000 more hairdressers will be potentially mobilized.
These significant strides show the continued commitment of employees and partners worldwide, eager to back projects useful to communities, consistent with our activities and meeting
real social needs. I want to salute their involvement and encourage them to enthusiastically
continue the mission we have given ourselves:
… to help make the world a more beautiful place."

IN 2010
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
THE COMMITTEES
L’Oréal Chairman, Sir Lindsay Owen-Jones, also chairs the Foundation’s Board of Directors, which on
December 31, 2010 had nine members: six from L’Oréal and three from outside the company qualified
in the Foundation's areas of intervention. Its role is to set the main directions of the Foundation's policy,
approve the budget and assess the initiatives carried out. The board met twice in 2010: on May 27 and
November 18.
Three Pre-selection and Strategic Orientation Committees examine the project proposals the Foundation receives.
They select the projects before presenting them to the Board of Directors, the validating body. The committees,
made up of L’Oréal staff and outside experts, meet twice a year. The selection guidelines are feasibility, originality
and consistency with the Foundation's objectives. The committees also work on developing and implementing
the Foundation's major programs worldwide.
THE PERMANENT STAFF
The permanent staff includes the Foundation Committee and a dedicated team. Its role consists of designing
and managing the programs, developing partnerships and preparing the strategic recommendations to be
proposed to the Board of Directors.

SCIENCE
Since the creation of L’Oréal by a scientist over a century ago,
the Group has never stopped believing in research as a driving force
of innovation and progress to push the limits of science and knowledge.
It has been involved in promoting scientific research, the basic sciences
and human sciences, increasing the role of women in science,
fostering the recognition of excellence, encouraging young people
to become scientists, and investing in new areas of research.
SOLIDARITY
The care people take in their appearance is at the heart of the Group’s activities.
Giving everyone access to beauty is a real commitment for L’Oréal,
whose solidarity programs aim to help people made to feel vulnerable by
the alteration of their appearance to feel self-confident again
and reintegrate into society.
EDUCATION
Béatrice DAUTRESME
L’Oréal Executive Vice-President,
Corporate Communications
and External Affairs,
Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation
Transmission of knowledge, training and diversity have always been
part of the L’Oréal model. Educating people and raising their awareness
of this century’s great causes, such as the fight against AIDS,
and facilitating disadvantaged people’s access to knowledge,
are the Foundation’s third commitment.
The Foundation is developing major global programs,
rolled out through every L’Oréal subsidiary, as well as “pilot” projects in France. It is intent on
setting up real partnerships that go beyond financial support and on evaluating the results of its actions.

Committed
Science
By showcasing women's role in science, our partnership also reiterates
the importance of scientific research as a driving force of progress.
I am convinced that science must be at the service of humanity to help us
meet the many urgent challenges we must face.
IRINA BOKOVA
Director General of UNESCO
I embrace the message from L’Oréal and UNESCO that the world needs science
and science needs women. We are a community of scientists and citizens from all
parts of the world. It is our collective, diverse creativity and humanity - half of
which is made up of women - that makes the world so wondrous and wonderful.
ELIZABETH BLACKBURN
2009 Nobel Prize in Medicine and 2008 Laureate, L’Oréal-UNESCO Award “For Women in Science”
The recognition that goes with the L’Oréal-UNESCO Award is extremely
important, in particular for women from developing countries,
who do not necessarily benefit from the same support and laboratory
working conditions.
GÜNTER BLOBEL
1999 Nobel Prize in Medicine, Chairman of the L’Oréal-UNESCO Award Jury
I think a career in science and exploration is a road paved with
happiness every step of the way… Many women have had wonderful
high-level careers, but their talent, skill and expertise are
insufficiently recognized.
12 TH L’ORÉAL-UNESCO AWARDS CEREMONY
CLAUDIE HAIGNERÉ
President, Universcience
The occasion
The challenges of health, human psychology and wellness in an often troubled world
require promoting social science research, breaking down the barriers between different
forms of knowledge, educating and raising the awareness of as many people as
possible of the ontological issues posed by our bodies, our appearance and the ages of life.
The 2010 “For Women in Science” Week
The 12th “For Women in Science” week opened in Paris on March 1, 2010.
As the Award’s renown grows from one year to the next, L’Oréal and UNESCO continue
to recognize outstanding women scientists from all parts of the world. These committed,
courageous women are united by one passion, and their research is helping to change the world.
The event gave these scientists - Award Laureates and International Fellowship recipients
— a unique opportunity to meet each other, exchange views and attest to their commitment
before a wide audience. Ties were forged and collaborative projects took shape.
The sense of belonging to a community of women scientists bent on ensuring a brighter
outlook for humanity was strengthened.
The women presented their research at the French Academy of Sciences and the Pasteur
Institute before receiving their Awards and Fellowships at UNESCO headquarters.
AXEL KAHN
President, Paris Descartes University
The art of being and appearing is an issue as old as humanity but has
modern-day implications for our societies. That is why it is important
to encourage and support social and human science researchers who
deepen knowledge in all its dimensions.

welve years after the L’Oréal-UNESCO
“For Women in Science” program started, women in science still have a long
way to go: they account for just 29% of
the world’s researchers (IUS UNESCO, 2009).
The Foundation’s commitment alongside UNESCO
is all the more important because of the world’s
apparent state of emergency today. The 2010
L’Oréal-UNESCO Award Laureates are a perfect
illustration of the involvement of women scientists
at the heart of every leading issue, from the environment to malnutrition, epidemics and natural
disasters.

THE
MEANING
OF BEAUTY
Contributing to a better
understanding of the role of appearance
and the meaning of beauty.
T
he goal of this human sciences research program is
to deepen knowledge about the meaning and role of
appearance in society and to make this information
accessible to as many people as possible. It led to the
2009 publication of 100,000 Years of Beauty, a multidisciplinary reference work written by 300 researchers from 35 countries that explores the human quest for beauty. In 2010, the
Foundation used its resources to make that knowledge available
to the general public through courses, events, lectures and
symposia.
Public exhibit and debates
about the meaning of beauty
with Paris Descartes University
The Foundation co-organized “The Face in All its States,” a
free exhibition and lecture series, with Paris Descartes University and the University of Health and Human Sciences. It offered an artistic and scientific view of the mysteries of the face,
an essential component of appearance and the first vector of
communication, by featuring over 150 original pieces, some
of which had never been on display before, from the Primitive
Arts to contemporary works, along with excerpts from 100,000
Years of Beauty.
Over 7,000 people saw the exhibit; several hundred attended
lectures on topics such as facial jewelry and ornaments, the
face's many languages, and the ethical issue of transplants, with
the participation of major experts, such as Axel Kahn, JeanClaude Ameisen, Professor Devauchelle and contributors to
100,000 Years of Beauty.

The Foundation has created a series of pilot courses on
the Anthropology of Beauty, a rare topic in universities,
even though it is intertwined with the evolution and understanding of societies. Elisabeth Azoulay, the editor of
100,000 Years of Beauty, and the book’s authors, teach
Master’s students three-month courses on themes developed and organized around specific periods of history.
Topics include the earliest clues of the human quest for
beauty in Prehistory, with paleontologist Denis Vialou;
new forms of corporal beauty in the future, with the
artist Orlan; and the use of perfume in ancient Egypt
explained by specialist Annick le Guérer. The courses
will be followed by video adaptations of 100,000 Years
of Beauty, which will be available to a broader student

A L’Oréal Foundation guest,
Aimée Mullins represents another vision of beauty.
(Women’s Forum October 2010)
The L’Oréal Foundation supports young researchers in the
human sciences whose work deepens knowledge about
beauty and draws on the collections of the National Library of France, through fellowships on the art of being
and appearing. This year EHESS researcher Irène Salas was
honored for her work The Construction of Appearing during
the Renaissance, Face Whitening Techniques in the Modern
Period and the Discovery of Skin in the 16th Century. Historian Antoine Roullet received the second Fellowship for
Nuns and Beauty: the Construction of a Forced Appearance.
The Foundation, a partner of the Women’s Forum,
organized an encounter on the theme “Reinvent Yourself ”
with guest of honor Aimée Mullins, a model and actress
who had both legs amputated below the knee in childhood
due to a birth defect. Her exceptional strength of character
and determination have enabled her to turn her own
experience into an example of how to live life to the full.
These young researchers show the extent to which beauty
is particularly fertile ground for research in the human
sciences. The Fellowships enable them to focus on research,
participate in symposia or travel to pursue their work.
“You can be the architect of your own continuously renewed
and reinvented identity,” she said.
Ms. Mullins told her incredible story to the Women's Forum
audience, making people question their vision of beauty ■

Rehabilitating women who have fallen on hard times includes taking care
of their bodies, giving them medical care and improving their health.
The weekly socio-aesthetics workshops make them feel as though their bodies
and their image belong to them again, and to feel better at last!

STEFANIA PARIGI
Director-General of Samusocial de Paris, regarding The Women's Shelter
I wanted to put the skills of my wonderful profession to work for people
in distress. I turned my job of beautician into that of socio-aesthetician,
thanks to which cosmetics become a veritable tool for social reintegration.

LAURENCE MANZANO
Socio-aesthetician
Surgeons operated on burn victims and cleft-palate patients at the Antsiranana Medical Center.
On the first day, many patients who had heard about the operation through word of mouth and print
and radio ads, were already waiting to be examined. Félicien, 17, and his mom Joamikiaka,
38, both with bilateral cleft palates, walked 60km to the hospital, where doctors had to make rapid
decisions on whether or not to operate on them, as well as on Efez, Fahedy, Zara, Tafitasoa,
Abdoul, Justine, Noeline, Raosiliny and other patients, that week, or wait until a later mission.
The doctors examined 60 patients - 19 adults and 41 children - and performed 34 operations during
the mission. Eight children who could not be operated on because they were too weak for anesthesia
were told to come back next year.
Since I’m convinced it’s essential for women to take care of themselves,
especially if they’re suffering from the side effects of cancer treatment, I naturally joined
the La Vie, de plus belle... organization. As the workshops advance, you see women
reconcile themselves with their image. If I had cancer I’d also want people to take care
of me in another way than just medically.

T
he goal of “Opération Sourire”,
Doctors of the World’s reconstructive
surgery program, is to give faces back
to those disfigured by war, illness and
malnutrition. In addition to physical reparation,
the operation helps restore dignity, an identity
and a social life to people shunned because of
their physical appearance.
For the third consecutive year the L’Oréal Foundation is supporting Doctors of the World missions in Africa and Asia, enabling the organization
to perform operations on over 1,500 patients. In
addition to the operations themselves, the program trains local surgeons to give children postsurgical care. “The L'Oréal Foundation's support

has breathed new life into the program,” says
volunteer surgeon and “Opération Sourire“ Founder
Dr. François Foussadier. “We have the backing of
people who believe in what we do, who want to
help and who play a key role in the development
of our missions. The contribution is not just
financial, but also psychological and moral.”
New German and Japanese surgeons have been recruited to increase the number of missions.
Support in 2010 enabled the Japanese team
to carry out a mission in Bangladesh led by
Dr. Satoshi Yoza. The German Doctors of the
World team is strengthening the action already
under way in Cambodia, performing operations

BEAUTY FROM

Because appearance and self-esteem
are closely related.
I
llness, unemployment and precarity can
lead to exclusion and cut people off
from society. The L’Oréal Foundation
believes that re-appropriating one’s appearance and working on one’s image help restore
self-confidence and a place in society. That is
why it set up “Beauty from the Heart,” a program of socio-aesthetics workshops and product
donations.
Socio-aesthetics workshops:
a moment for oneself,
a different kind of caring.
In 2010, professional socio-aestheticians led
nearly 150 workshops in seven organizations that
help people struck by illness and misfortune.
Their attentive, gentle, makeup and beauty care
gestures helped restore the participants' confidence and positive self-image.
2010 ACTIVITY REPORT - L’OREAL Corporate Foundation
Job seekers
Hospitalized teens
The series of “Take Care of Yourself” socio-aesthetics
workshops has become an essential part of the job
search for 63 unemployed people receiving help
from the Maison de l’Emploi et du Développement
Economique de la ville de Clichy.
The Foundation is continuing its commitment to
la Maison de Solenn, offering approximately 100 hospitalized teens weekly makeup workshops with socioaestheticians (48 in 2010) in addition to their medical
care. It has also forged two new partnerships with the
Montsouris Mutualist Institute’s adolescent psychiatry
department and the Foundation Lenval in Nice aiming
to improve teens’ relationships with their bodies.
People living in precarity
In 2010, the 14 residents of Samusocial de Paris
women’s shelter in Montrouge and 33 women
housed at the Emmaüs Laumière Center received
beauty assistance and advice with support from
the L’Oréal Foundation.
A study assessing the impact of socio-aesthetics
on people trying to find jobs and get back into
mainstream society, conducted in partnership
with CODES (Aesthetics training with a humanitarian and social option), is likely to reveal interesting
findings in 2011.
Women with cancer
In association with nine L’Oréal Group brands,
the Foundation supports “La Vie, de plus belle,”
an organization in the international “Look Good,
Feel Better” network, which the cosmetics industry set up in 2001 to provide skin care and makeup
workshops to women with cancer. In 2010, a total
of 1,822 women in 21 hospitals in France took
part in 222 workshops.

The occasion
I've been a tutor for four years. It's a great human and teaching experience.
I tutor various kinds of students, from junior high to high school and college prep:
I have to adjust my methods depending on the individual. It's a real challenge because
you have to see the difficulties through their eyes. I think that's how you understand
their problems. Tutoring helps because we provide assistance but also a friendly service.
We are close to students in age and provide one-on-one contact, which in my view,
are two important factors that make tutoring successful.
Launch of the "Hairdressers Against AIDS"
program in the USA
Unprecedented mobilization actions have taken place in the United States.
For example, 500 hairdressers attended a training session at the United Nations headquarters.
On December 1, they were in the streets of New York, generating one million contacts
with city residents. The highlight was the huge electronic billboards in Times Square
showing the visuals and new communication slogan: "Use Your Voice, Use Your Power
for a Beautiful World without AIDS."

Tutoring junior high and high school
students at the Cité des sciences

The L’Oréal Foundation has been involved in the
project from the outset by:
• upgrading and equipping sites to make them
accessible to people with disabilities;
• carrying out a support and awareness-raising
campaign allowing students to declare their disability when they apply to Sciences Po and helping them by adapting their examination
conditions, for example;
• setting up the International Mobility Fund
(scholarships to study abroad). Seven students received the scholarship during the 2009/2010
school year. Ten went abroad in September 2010.
The program is gradually focusing on students
with increasingly severe disabilities ■
For the fourth consecutive year the Cité des
sciences et de l’industrie, in partnership with the
Association de Prévention du Site de la Villette
(APSV), has run a tutoring program with support
from the L’Oréal Foundation.
The program's goal is to promote equal access to
scientific knowledge. It supports young students
from working-class neighborhoods in science subjects, often the reason for their failure in school.

The goal of the "Sciences Po Accessible" program,

the program (up from 20 in 2007/2008), a major
lead over other schools, which have just two or

The above-mentioned sum of €40,000,000 was increased by €114,250,
bringing the total to €40,114,250 as a result of the Founder's making
staff, premises and equipment available to the Corporate Foundation
2007 financial year. For the 2008 financial year the Founder made staff,
premises and equipment worth €660,492 available to the Corporate
Foundation, which, taking the 2007 increase into account, brought the
total sum to €40,774,742. For the 2009 financial year the Founder made
staff, premises and equipment worth €664,676 available to the Corporate
Foundation, which, taking the 2008 increase into account, brought the
total sum to €41,439,418. For the 2010 financial year the Founder made
staff, premises and equipment worth €707,569 available to the Corporate
Foundation, which, taking the 2009 increase into account, brought
the total sum to €42,146,987. In compliance with paragraph 3 of article
19-1 of French law 87-571 of July 23, 1987, amended, that increase
was declared by signature of rider no. 4 to the statutes dated February 3,
2011 and filed with the Prefecture of Paris. In 2010, the Founder

2010 ACTIVITY REPORT - L’OREAL Corporate Foundation
contributed €9,500,000, to which €400,000 of unused funds from
the 2009 contribution was added, for a total budget of €9,900,000.
Of the €9,900,000, €8,629,550 was spent. The Foundation collected
€311 in financial products and endowed the 2010 dedicated funds
with €1,270,761.
THE OUTLOOK FOR FINANCIAL YEAR 2011
On May 10, 2011 the Board of Directors voted a budget that calls for the
use, for the Corporate Foundation's actions, of part of the amount of
€10,000,000 to be contributed by the founder and the amount of
€1,346,000 from the unused part of previous contributions.
The Board of Directors set the overall amount for project proposals that
can be reviewed directly by the Foundation Committee at €100,000 per
year. The amount for individual projects cannot exceed €10,000 ■
