DUOLAB was born from the vision of Reinold Geiger, an Austrian entrepreneur renowned for transforming L'Occitane en Provence — a cosmetics expert specialising in formulas made from natural ingredients with visible results — into a globally recognised brand, and for building a major premium beauty group on a global scale. With an engineering degree, he began his career in industry before specialising in packaging, where he developed a deep understanding of the value of innovation applied to products. A true serial entrepreneur, he has never stopped exploring new ways to improve product performance and experience.

With DUOLAB, he continues this pursuit by seeking to revolutionise the cosmetics industry through technology, drawing on his dual background as an engineer and industrialist. His ambition: to unlock the full potential of existing formulas through a groundbreaking system and intelligent packaging, proven to be among the most advanced on the market. Initially incubated within the L'OCCITANE Group, the project benefited from its expertise and heritage. But when it came time to bring the project to market, the need to challenge conventions and gain agility became clear. DUOLAB thus became independent to develop fully, while remaining true to the founding principles instilled by Reinold Geiger: innovation, excellence, and a constant pursuit of performance.
