L’Oreal, Mondelez, and Nestle use AI to speed product development

L’Oreal is employing AI to shorten product development timelines and discover new uses for existing ingredients. Fabrice Megarbane, president of L’Oreal’s consumer products division, noted that AI helps predict how molecules will impact skin and hair before new formulations are created. For the past four years, L’Oreal has integrated AI in its labs, allowing scientists to digitally test variables before lab trials. This approach has made product formulation four times faster, enabling teams to quickly evaluate new molecule combinations.
