L’Oreal profits from and supports ethnic cleansing, horrendous labor practices, toxic ingredients, and false advertising.
“L'Oreal has been present in Israel since 1983
via the Migdal Ha'Emek plant. The (illegal) settlement of this town was
established in 1952 on lands belonging to the ethnically cleansed Palestinian
village of al-Mujaydil, whose inhabitants are still denied the right to return
to their homes. Like many other Israeli settlements in Palestinian villages,
Migdal Ha-emek discriminates against Palestinian citizens of Israel, denying
them the right to buy, rent or live on any part of the town, simply because
they are 'non Jews'." More information at the link:

If you care about your health and
your skin, you won’t use L’Oreal products anyway!
L’Oreal isn’t necessarily safe for your skin—read
about adverse reactions here:
And here:
How about some lead in your
lipstick?
That lead caused them a class action lawsuit:
Lead’s not all, "Cosmetics loaded with toxic
metals, 'L’Oreal . . . guilty:” http://www.financialexpress.com/news/girls-beware-cosmetics-loaded-with-toxic-metals-l-oreal-hindustan-unilever-guilty/1218594
More on toxic ingredients here:
Not
surprisingly, L'Oreal has chosen not to sign the Compact for Safe Cosmetics:

How do they get people to buy this
stuff anyway?
L’Oreal uses false advertising to
sell its products:
And:
False advertising caused them to end up with
another class action law suit: http://topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/17273-plaintiffs-file-amended-loreal-hair-product-class-action-lawsuit/

Their labor relations aren’t so red
hot either:
L'Oréal guilty of racism:
L’Oreal engages in sexist,
discriminatory, and unfair labor practices:
"Long working hours with no compensation,
poor human resource policy, very high fluctuation:" http://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/L-Or%C3%A9al-Reviews-E3470.htm
L’Oreal & Child Labor?
And then there’s the little issue of a sweatshop: “The company's clothing subsidiary, Ralph
Lauren (Polo), was involved in the notorious Saipan sweatshop case where 30,000
garment workers on US territory were abused over the course of ten years.” http://www.healthy-communications.com/7loreal_toxic_chemicals.htm

Animal rights activists will want to
know that L’Oreal has resumed animal testing for some of its products: http://www.smh.com.au/world/loreal-buys-back-into-tests-on-animals-20130823-2sgzu.html
