La Roche-Posay

L'Oréal Canada Inc., the federal corporation that distributes the brand in Canada, states in its filing under Canada's Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act that it is a wholly owned subsidiary of L'Oréal SA of Paris, and Corporations Canada lists it as an active CBCA corporation with directors in Montreal, Clichy and New York. L'Oréal's own investor page puts 34.79 percent of the capital with Françoise Bettencourt Meyers and her family and 20.16 percent with Nestlé at 31 December 2025, with the shares listed on Euronext Paris, so the controlling holder, the second holder and the listing venue all sit in the EU bucket. The Registraire des entreprises du Québec could not be reached this session and L'Oréal has no SEC filings, so the Quebec extra-provincial record was not checked.

The brand's Canadian site describes the thermal water at the heart of its formulas as coming from La Roche-Posay in central France, and The CANADA List records the brand as made in France, but neither the vendor site nor Well.ca nor Amazon.ca carries a product-level country of origin. Amazon.ca listings give a New York manufacturer contact, and L'Oréal's integrated production model makes some North American SKUs at its US plants plausible, so the split is an estimate. L'Oréal Canada's Saint-Laurent plant makes haircare, styling and skincare, but nothing fetched ties it to this brand.

The Canadian business is run by L'Oréal Canada from its head office at 1500 boulevard Robert-Bourassa, Montreal, which the company says employs 1,757 people across marketing, sales, finance, e-commerce and operations, and the brand's customer service line keeps Eastern Time hours. Brand management, research and the thermal centre sit with L'Oréal in France, so the split between Canadian market staff and the French brand organisation is an estimate.

The signature input is the thermal spring water of La Roche-Posay, France, and L'Oréal's UV filters such as Mexoryl are the group's own French chemistry. L'Oréal Canada's forced labour filing says raw materials are procured worldwide by the group's operations division in Paris, which covers the plant oils, glycerin, packaging and other commodity inputs, so the remainder is an estimate spread across global suppliers.

• Report pursuant to the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act filing “L'Oréal Canada's products are sourced through L'Oréal Groupe's integrated global supply chain. This includes raw materials procured worldwide.”
