Campaign Launch

Timed to coincide with World Refill Day on June 16th, this initiative aims to inspire consumers to adopt refills as a new beauty ritual while contributing to a more sustainable future. The campaign features some of the Group's most renowned brands, including: Lancôme, Armani beauty, Yves Saint Laurent Beauty, Kiehl’s, Mugler, Maison Margiela Fragrances, Prada Beauty, Valentino Beauty, L’Oréal Paris, Kérastase, L’Oréal Professionnel, and La Roche Posay.

Engagement and Awareness

Alongside engaging advertisements and social media content, the dedicated hashtag #JoinTheRefillMovement will act as a call to action, encouraging consumer participation and interaction. Major retail partners will also amplify the campaign, increasing awareness of the numerous refill options available across a diverse range of beauty products.

Addressing Sustainability

Responding to the rising consumer demand for sustainable beauty alternatives, the campaign seeks to highlight the advantages of refills. While 78% of consumers show interest in purchasing more sustainable products, many remain unaware of refillable options and their reduced environmental impact. This campaign illustrates the tangible benefits of refills, showcasing how they contribute positively to the planet and your wallet. For instance, opting for a 100 ml refill of La Vie Est Belle Elixir fragrance instead of two 50 ml bottles can save:

  • 73% glass
  • 66% plastic
  • 61% cardboard

This campaign brings together some of our most iconic brands to invite consumers everywhere to #JoinTheRefillMovement. We’d love consumers around the world to experience how easy and rewarding it is to make the switch to refills and incorporate them into their regular beauty routines.

Commitment to Sustainability

This initiative underscores L’Oréal’s long-term commitment to minimizing its environmental impact and providing more sustainable solutions for consumers. Over the past five years, the Group has transformed its manufacturing sites globally, enabling a 17-fold increase in refillable options, which now includes some of the best-selling fragrances for both men and women.

As the global beauty leader, we have an opportunity, as well as a responsibility to create more circular solutions and set a new industry standard. Achieving this vision at scale demands more than innovation – it requires intention and action. That is why we are mobilizing our brands, our business partners, and our consumers to make refills the new norm.

Ezgi Barcenas, Chief Corporate Responsibility Officer at L’Oréal

This year's World Refill Day initiative not only emphasizes L’Oréal’s pledge to promote circularity among consumers but also illustrates their ongoing dedication to innovation and waste reduction.
