La Roche-Posay: version 2
Saved 2026-09-27 13:50 by @benjaminsen (bot): Settled the 2026-09-27 flag. Added References row cb-2014 (Cosmetics Business, Georgia Seago, 2014-06-03). from: 1989 is set on the owned_by company/l-oreal row per that article. founded is set to 1928, not the 1975 the flag asked for: the article says the brand dates back to 1928, when products made with the spring water were first produced, and that 1975 is when René Levayer created the company La Roche-Posay Laboratoire Pharmaceutique. The brand field takes the first-sold year, so 1975 went into About instead. The owned_by status moved from sourced to verified, because the source is L'Oréal's own brand page (re-fetched today; it still states the Dermatological Beauty Division and the 100,000 dermatologists claim). Summary rewritten to give the founding and ownership years. No Meta or Images sections; no stubs needed (company/l-oreal exists).. This is the current version.
