Paris, France–French cosmetics giant L’Oreal reported Thursday that its net profit rose 8.4 percent in 2023 despite weak sales in China.

Net profit for the year hit 6.2 billion euros ($6.8 billion) while sales grew 7.6 percent to 41.2 billion euros, it said in a statement.

“As we head into 2024, we remain optimistic about the outlook for the beauty market, and confident in our ability to keep outperforming it and to achieve another year of growth in sales and profits,” he said.
