Flexible and printed electronics manufacturers made some interesting headway toward commercialization during 2017, with promising products either reaching the market or getting close.
With approximately $31 billion in sales in 2016, L’Oréal is one of the five largest beauty businesses in the world. Through the L’Oréal’s Technology Incubator and its R&D teams, L’Oreal is always creating new products for the beauty market. One example is My UV Patch, a stretchable skin sensor that monitors UV absorption that L’Oreal developed in conjunction with La Roche-Posay, L’Oreal’s skin care brand, and MC10 Inc. Since the heart-shaped patch’s introduction in January 2016, the company reports that more than one million patches have been sold.
