Meaning & History

From the name of the French cosmetics and beauty company, L'Oréal. According to Wikipedia, the name L'Oréal is derived from the company's first hair dye formula, Oréale.

It is likely to be derived from the Old French aureole, from the Medieval Latin aureola, from the Latin aureolus "made of gold, golden; adorned, covered, or decorated with gold, gilded; of the color gold, golden; golden, beautiful, splendid, magnificent, excellent".
