2 Eco-design of new biomimetic carbohydrates:
fundamental interest of Lubineau's C-glycosylation
reaction
For several years, the L'Or
´
al Research group has been implementing
action plans for sustainable innovation, and has been reporting pro-
gresses of these actions annually.

Among these actions, the commitment
to green chemistry plays an essential role with respect of the green
chemistry principles

based on the following fundamental pillars:
Use of renewable raw materials from plants.
Development of eco-friendly processes.
Launching of new ingredients with very low environmental impact.
In order to respect and deepen our commitment of eco-design, we have
also set up green indicators:
''Atom economy''

for the evaluation of amount of waste generated by the
processes.
Rate of renewable carbon.
Environmental risk assessment according to European guidelines.

To ensure ecient energy, the use of processes which show too high
energy demand was avoided such as:
