L'Oreal says it is working with start-ups and research institutions to bioprint skin that can actually "feel."
PARIS, France — French beauty and cosmetics giant L'Oreal is working on a form of synthetically produced skin that it says will one day be able to "feel" like we do.
At the Viva Technology conference in Paris last week, L'Oreal showed off demonstrations of "bioprinting," technology that can 3D print humanlike skin, in action.
L'Oreal says it ceased testing its products on animals back in 1989, long before it was required by regulation.
We're doing it internally but also working with external partners as well," Balooch told CNBC at the firm's booth at VivaTech.
