Is Maybelline New York on BDS List?

Boycott

Maybelline New York has to be boycotted

Maybelline New York is a brand of L'Oreal

L'Oreal initiated operations in Israel in the mid-1990s, influenced by political motivations, and established a factory in Migdal Ha'emek, Lower Galilee. This location is controversial as Migdal Ha’emek was founded on lands of the ethnically-cleansed Palestinian village of al-Mujaydil. L’Oreal Israel produces products with Dead Sea minerals, marketed as 'Natural Sea Beauty,' and exports them to 22 countries. A significant portion of the Dead Sea's western shore, exploited by Israel for tourism and mining, is in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. L'Oreal has been described as a 'warm friend of Israel,' demonstrated by reversing a boycott stance through a $1.4m fine payment and an apology, subsequently strengthening ties with Israel.
