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.

    but through one of their subsidiary brands, Hershey’s

    Hershey’s is a Nestle subsidiary now?

      Maybe not actually. It looks like they license kitkat from Nestle for the US market but Hershey itself is owned by The Hershey Trust Company which has a controlling stake. Nestle probably owns a percentage, but I’m too lazy to dig that deep.
