Portable lab-on-a-chip device uses cutting-edge science to enable consumers to understand

their skin’s aging trajectory and gain insights into the skincare that works best for their needs

LAS VEGAS, January 6, 2025 – Today at CES® 2025, L’Oréal Groupe unveiled L’Oréal Cell BioPrint, a tabletop hardware device that provides personalized skin analysis in just five minutes, using advanced proteomics – the study of how protein composition in the human body affects skin aging.

L’Oréal Cell BioPrint is made possible by L’Oréal’s Longevity Integrative Scienceä, a groundbreaking approach that reveals how mechanisms in the human body can affect skin’s appearance, and through an exclusive partnership with Korean startup NanoEnTek. L’Oréal Cell BioPrint produces a personalized skin assessment in minutes including:

• Skin’s BiologicalAge: How fast is skin aging? L’Oréal Cell BioPrint can calculate skin’s age and provide personalized advice on how to slow down the appearance of aging.

• IngredientResponsiveness: Will certain active ingredients work on one’s skin? L’Oréal Cell BioPrint minimizes guesswork by helping to predict responsiveness to certain key ingredients such as

• Shiftingfrom Reactive to Proactive Skincare: Is one’s skin prone to dark spots or enlarged pores? L’Oréal Cell BioPrint can help predict potential cosmetic issues before they become visible, enabling users to take proactive steps to help protect the beauty of their skin.

“At L’Oréal, we’re always looking toward the future of beauty, blending cutting-edge discoveries with our long-standing beauty expertise. With skin being the largest organ, and a key part of

people’s wellbeing, we are thrilled to unveil Cell BioPrint, an exclusive microfluidic lab-on-a-chip technology coupled with our century-long skin science leadership. With the Cell BioPrint device, we offer people the ability to discover deeper insights about their skin through specific biomarkers and to proactively address the beauty and longevity of their skin,” said Barbara Lavernos, Deputy CEO in charge of Research, Innovation and Technology at L’Oréal Groupe.

In Pursuit of Increased Personalization in Skincare

The growth of the global skincare market, which is projected to reach $125 billion in 20241, is driven by consumers who are continuously seeking more information about, and more efficacious products for, their unique skin. According to a recent US survey of 2,000 skincare users, nearly 80% reported relying on trial and error to determine what worked for them, with the average person reporting trying seven different cleansers before finding one they love2.

Using Advanced Biomarker Research to Pinpoint Beauty Accuracy

The advanced science in L’Oréal CellBioPrint is now being applied to skin intelligence thanks to decades of knowledge-building and innovation by L’Oréal’s Advanced Research team, which identified for the first time, unique biomarkers in the skin that can indicate key components of healthy-looking skin and longevity3.

The L’Oréal Cell BioPrint device also features NanoEntek’s exclusive microfluidic lab-on-a-chip technology, which leverages some of NanoEnTek’s 100+ patents to measure the presence of L’Oréal‘s groundbreaking protein biomarkers in five minutes. It works through a simple, non- invasive process comprised of the following steps:

1. Puta facial tape strip on one’s cheek, then place into buffer
2. Loadthe solution into the L’Oréal Cell BioPrint cartridge and insert it into the machine for

The Hershey Company announced that the world’s most technologically advanced chocolate making facility – a $300 million investment in Hershey, PA, that positions the company for its next 100 years of global growth – is officially “open for business.”

The new facility features proprietary, state-of-the-art technology never before used in the manufacture of confectionery. The new technology was developed specifically for the plant, including highly automated, large-scale Hershey’s Kisses Chocolate operations. The plant’s advanced Information Technology systems include automated, real-time diagnostics systems to help keep operations running smoothly 24 hours a day.

The expanded West Hershey facility is one of the company’s largest capital investments and represents one of the largest construction projects in Pennsylvania in two decades. The formal opening highlights Hershey’s strategy to grow its business globally while remaining true to its heritage and values, grounded in more than a century of chocolate making and confectionery innovation in Hershey, PA.

“Today, we are celebrating our proud Pennsylvania heritage, the growing popularity of Hershey products in global markets, our continuing investments in productive technology and our great workers who make it possible to enjoy these iconic products,” said John P. Bilbrey, President and CEO, The Hershey Company.

“Hershey employees built this dynamic business during the first century of chocolate making in Hershey starting in 1905. Today, we honor each of those individuals and our history and applaud those who designed, built and operate our Factory of the Future. They continue to produce the finest chocolate confectionery right here in Hershey, PA, where it all began. Together, we are securing the next century of growth for this iconic company.”

As a major employer in the state, the West Hershey plant is expected to contribute more than $1 billion to the economy of Pennsylvania over the next five years through supplier contracts, payroll and related spending.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett commented, “I am working as Governor to ensure there is a job for every Pennsylvanian that wants one and an educated Pennsylvanian for every one of those jobs. I am proud the Commonwealth was able to partner with Hershey as they grow, evolve, create jobs, train great employees and continue their commitment to Pennsylvania’s prosperity.”

Investing in Pennsylvania to Grow Globally

The new 340,000 sq. ft. expansion at West Hershey is located less than two miles from the company’s original chocolate factory opened in 1905 by Milton Hershey. Key features include:

• the latest manufacturing technology and proprietary candy manufacturing equipment that speeds production, delivers consistent high quality and provides the opportunity to produce new products in the future.
• high-speed, high-tech new production lines with the capacity to support Hershey’s growing business now and well into the future. This includes the most technologically advanced, automated chocolate syrup production lines in the world.
• new Hershey’s Kisses Chocolate lines that can produce more than 70 million Hershey’s Kisses Chocolates per day.

The expansion is Pennsylvania’s single largest manufacturing investment since the construction of the original West Hershey plant in 1991. The new development infused $70 million into the Pennsylvania economy and created more than 300 construction jobs.

The plant’s workforce includes about 700 employees who transitioned from the original Hershey plant on East Chocolate Ave. – the company’s oldest facility, which ran continuously from 1905 until its retirement in April 2012.

Hershey’s manufacturing presence and investments bring significant economic benefit to the local and regional economies:

• Hershey’s $300 million investment is the largest direct investment by a food manufacturer in Pennsylvania in the last 20 years. Hershey’s Project Next Century included about $25 million in materials and supplies sourced in Pennsylvania.
• With 4,800 employees in Pennsylvania, 8,800 in the United States and 14,000 worldwide, The Hershey Company is the third-largest manufacturer in the state.
• Hershey trained approximately 700 employees to prepare them to work in the plant’s high-tech manufacturing environment.
• The West Hershey plant includes stainless steel corn syrup and fresh milk silos with the capacity to hold millions of pounds of fresh ingredients. All of the silos were manufactured in Lancaster County, PA.

Building on Hershey’s Innovation Heritage

More than a century ago, Milton S. Hershey revolutionized the chocolate industry by making chocolate an affordable treat and building a company focused on delighting consumers. The new West Hershey plant continues Milton Hershey’s passion for using innovation, technology and inspiration to make great candy accessible, affordable and delicious.

Work on the latest expansion began with groundbreaking in September 2010 and was completed on schedule earlier this year. The construction used 17,000 yards of concrete, equivalent to a 65-mile long sidewalk. Contractors installed 600 tons of reinforcing steel, 10 miles of utility piping and 1,900 gallons of paint.

“The West Hershey facility is a testament to the commitment and dedication of our tremendous plant employees,” said Terry O’Day, Senior Vice President, Global Operations. “I am proud of how our people have adapted quickly and recognized the opportunities provided by the latest technology. They contribute directly to improved quality, speed and efficiency. They truly represent the manufacturing employees of the future, operating one of the most technologically advanced candy factories in the world.”

The plant represents major investments in logistics, computer technology and employee facilities. State-of-the-art, computer-controlled manufacturing processes include software and machinery developed and adapted by Hershey’s production line operators and managers. The new plant continues Hershey’s tradition as one of the few chocolate manufacturers to use fresh, liquid milk to ensure consistent high quality. There is also a fresh almond roasting plant onsite.

The plant also continues The Hershey Company’s commitment to sustainability and the environment. The building expansion was a “Zero Waste to Landfill” (ZWL) construction project and the plant will continue to operate as a ZWL plant.

The expansion at West Hershey is the largest component of Project Next Century – a program to modernize and upgrade Hershey’s global supply chain and ensure a competitive cost structure. Other recent investments in Hershey, PA, include $50 to $75 million in upgrades to distribution and administrative facilities.

West Hershey is one of the company’s eight manufacturing sites in the United States. Locations include: Hazleton, PA; Stuarts Draft, VA; and Memphis, TN.
