L'OCCITANE Group's disruptive new beauty startup, DUOLAB, introduces a 
revolutionary new facecare system, which breaks the beauty mould and presents a 
new approach to facecare: skin responsive care. The DUOLAB system, comprising a 
sophisticated app and counter-top device, harnesses AI technology to adapt to 
the skin's constantly changing needs, producing tailored, natural, 
preservative-free facecare formulas, freshly blended and on demand. This 
skincare solution puts DUOLAB at the forefront of tomorrow's cosmetics industry 
and has the potential to be scaled up across the L'OCCITANE Group's brand 
portfolio and beyond. 

Using the DUOLAB app and a unique skin diagnostic tool, DUOLAB assesses the 
user's skin profile and skin priorities with two state-of-the-art forms of AI 
to both pre-empt skin's needs and respond to its changing environment. It 
generates a personalised care programme with clinically proven capsule 
combinations based on three moisturising bases and five active concentrates. 
The user simply loads the prescribed combination into the device and a patented 
emulsification process delivers a freshly blended monodose in 90 seconds. 
DUOLAB's thermo-cosmetic technology warms the cream to the skin's natural 
temperature, for a more effective absorption of the active ingredients.

The DUOLAB formulas, which are scientifically proven and have been tested on 
over 1,300 women, contain powerful active botanicals. The formulas are 
completely free from preservatives and as such are microbiome-friendly. They 
are preserved in sterile, airtight capsules and therefore maintain their 
absolute safety and purity for at least three years. Furthermore, the formulas 
are free from silicone, mineral oil derivatives, synthetic fragrances and 
colorants.

Customers can either buy their capsules on the go or via a monthly subscription 
to have them delivered straight to their door. To ensure that used capsules are 
disposed of properly, DUOLAB has created a dedicated collection and recycling 
scheme in partnership with TerraCycle(R). In exchange for a reward of loyalty 
points, customers can simply send their empties back to DUOLAB in the prepaid 
envelope provided with every purchase or drop them off at any L'OCCITANE 
boutique in the UK.

DUOLAB is available at www.duolab.com and selected L'OCCITANE boutiques in the 
UK and Ireland, with availability to be extended to Asia before the end of the 
year. Device POUNDS 250; single capsules POUNDS 1.25, with a 20% discount on a 
monthly 'day & night' bundle (POUNDS 112) and a 14% discount on monthly 'day' 
or 'night' bundles (POUNDS 60).
