Debut is a beauty biotechnology startup.

I didn’t realize that L’Oreal had a venture arm, but now I know it has one, and it’s called Debut which launched in 2018 actually.  I continue to be bullish on large brands and retailers starting venture arms, and for startups to puruse investments from these companies as strategic investors can provide a lot of specialized resources for startups.  Debut is a synthetic biotech company that focus on sustainable beauty concepts.
