L’Oreal and Nestle used to be American companies, with L’Oreal being a common and affordable skin moisturizing cream from the 1990s, while Nestle KitKat being a favorite American candy, so when did L’Oreal become a French cosmetics company, and KitKat being a Swiss candybar? Thank you for your attention and interest.

Kitkat has always been associated with American culture, not Swiss or British culture. Also, just because a company name is French, does not mean it is a French company with French headquarters.

Also, just because a company name is French, does not mean it is a French company with French headquarters.

But it is a French company with French headquarters. Why is this so hard for you to understand?

L'Oreal was an American company that sold common and affordable skin moisturizing creams, in pharmacy stores like CVS. It was not a French cosmetics company..
