La Roche-Posay: Improvement Of A Formula Screened Using SPOT

In 2016, La Roche-Posay began to use SPOT to evaluate the impact of its products and identify possible means of improvement.

The brand has, for example, renovated the formula of its ultra-fine exfoliating scrub, which now has 10% improved biodegradability, in particular thanks to the replacement of the plastic microbeads by perlite, a mineral particle with an excellent environmental profile. In line with its commitment, by the end of 2016 the L’Oréal Group had reformulated 100% of its rinse-off exfoliating products: none of these still contain plastic microbeads.
