Dear John,

<p>Porn-star fame and sex work are being sold as beauty&rsquo;s new normal - and L&rsquo;Or&eacute;al is leading the charge.</p> <p>Urban Decay was created for teenage girls, yet L&rsquo;Or&eacute;al chose an OnlyFans performer, Ari Kytsya, to front its latest &ldquo;empowerment&rdquo; campaign on TikTok and Instagram.</p> <p>This isn&rsquo;t empowerment. <strong>It&rsquo;s exploitation</strong> - glorifying pornography, objectifying women, and grooming girls to believe that being sexualised is powerful.</p> <p>L&rsquo;Or&eacute;al calls it authentic. We call it unacceptable.</p>
Add your name now to demand the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigate L’Oréal, pull these ads, and stop porn-linked youth marketing for good.
<p>The law is clear:</p> <ul> <li>The FTC Act bans unfair and deceptive acts.<br /><br /></li> <li>The 2023 FTC Endorsement Guides require &ldquo;extra care&rdquo; when minors are involved.<br /><br /></li> <li>The Children&rsquo;s Online Privacy Protection Act forbids targeting under-13s.<br /><br /></li> </ul> <p><strong>L&rsquo;Or&eacute;al ignored all of this</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>-&nbsp; targeting girls with pornographic content anyway.<br />The result? A beauty brand trusted by millions now normalises porn culture for children.</p> <p>CitizenGO has prepared the files for a formal FTC complaint demanding accountability.<br />But here&rsquo;s the current reality: with the federal government shut down, our case is temporarily paused.</p> <p>That&rsquo;s not a setback,<strong> it&rsquo;s an opportunity.</strong><br /><br />Every day the shutdown continues, we have time to gather thousands more signatures so that when Washington reopens,<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>they&rsquo;ll have no choice but to act.</strong></p> <p>Your voice matters, and the voices of your friends and family. Your signature makes a difference.<br /><br />Together,<span>&nbsp;</span><strong>we can stop L&rsquo;Or&eacute;al&rsquo;s exploitation of girls</strong><span>&nbsp;</span>and restore real beauty rooted in dignity, not degradation.</p>
Fighting for our children,
<i>Anna Derbyshire and the entire CitizenGO Team</i>
<em>P.S. The FTC still hasn’t acted. Every signature builds pressure — add your name now before another girl is targeted.</em> Sign Today. Because they are worth it.

Dear John,

It was a rite of passage. My daddy asked me on a date, and my mother let me borrow one of her fancy dresses. Before the date, my mother handed me three little gifts, each wrapped with its own fancy bow. <br><br>I opened the first square one; it was a pretty pink blush. Then I opened the first cylinder, a brown mascara, and the second cylinder, a pink lip gloss that perfectly matched the blush. <br><br>I was 13, officially growing up, and allowed to wear makeup.<br><br>Passing this tradition on to our daughters as each turned 13 was a coming-of-age ritual. <br><br>Caring parents do not want to rush these milestones. They treasure the evolution as a gift.<br><br><strong>L'Oreal knows this journey, and they are hell-bent on corrupting it.</strong><br><br>It’s no surprise that cosmetics companies race to lock in customers early. Capture a girl’s loyalty at thirteen, and you'll likely keep her business for decades. <br><br> L’Oréal built its Urban Decay line for the youngest makeup users over fifteen years ago. Today, they are deliberately targeting thirteen-year-olds with sexualized content, in defiance of federal law.<br><br>The Federal Trade Commission Act, the FTC Endorsement Guides, and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act forbid targeting minors with sexually explicit commercial content.<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; color: #000000; font-weight: 400;"><br></span>
Tell Andrew Ferguson, Federal Trade Commission Chair, to act now and force L’Oréal to pull porn culture out of children's marketing.
<p>L&rsquo;Oreal purposefully threw off all restraints and protections against sexual content and the exploitation of minors.</p> <p>They hurdled over the sexual innuendo and now promote sex work, prostitution, and porn creation as a glamorous, sought-after profession. <br /><br /><strong>L&rsquo;Oreal&rsquo;s Urban Decay ads are specifically targeting 13-year-olds, sending a clear message that pornography is fun, and sex workers are to be praised and imitated.</strong></p> <p>They did not simply hire a porn star as a model; they actively highlight her on-camera sexual acts and gave her a microphone to be heard by millions of young girls and boys.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>The ads offer no age-appropriate warnings.</strong> As a matter of fact, Kystya repeatedly proclaims it is time that her sex work and pornography productions be uncensored.</p> <p>Kystya&rsquo;s language in the L'Oreal ads includes:</p> <p>Urban Decay <em>"makeup was made to perform on stage, on camera. And, 'Yes,' on mattresses.&rdquo;</em></p> <p>Commenting on <em>"15 steps to a barely there look. I've started roles with less coverage than that."</em></p> <p>She jokes that Urban Decay&rsquo;s setting spray <em>&ldquo;lasts longer than my man; and he lasted way too long.&rdquo;</em></p> <p><strong>She announces,<em> "I am not afraid to go all the way. But it seems the world is."</em></strong></p> <p>Speaking to the young audience, she proclaimed, <em>"It is time to end this plague of dry, because I'm not turned on."</em></p> <p>Her instructions to young teens for a "<em>dream all-nighter"</em><br /><em>- "Always something sexual.&rdquo;</em><br /><em>- &ldquo;Go get a yummy drink.&rdquo;</em><br /><em>- &ldquo;Explore in the bedroom.&rdquo;</em><br /><em>- &ldquo;With a tall, hot man."</em></p> <p>In a bloopers section, L&rsquo;Oreal intentionally left in the ads, Kystya&rsquo;s use of <em>"fuc-" </em>and<em> "vagina,"</em> while laughing and giggling between takes.</p> <p>The L'Oreal ads on Instagram and TikTok include links to Kystya&rsquo;s personal profile page of nearly nude shots and a subscription link to her pornography work. <br /><br /><strong>Two taps on a L&rsquo;Oreal TikTok ad and a child lands on uncensored porn,</strong> courtesy of a billion-dollar beauty brand.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /></p>
Tell the Federal Trade Commission the evidence is clear: L’Oréal must pull porn culture out of children's marketing.
<p><em><strong>L&rsquo;Oreal, this stopped being about lipstick a long time ago. You crossed a federal line.</strong></em><br /><br />Urban Decay was engineered for the youngest teenage girls, yet the company hired OnlyFans performer Ari Kytsya to push porn and prostitution at them on TikTok and Instagram. <br /><br />The scripts praise &ldquo;all-night bedroom exploration,&rdquo; boast that the makeup &ldquo;performs on mattresses,&rdquo; and joke about sexual stamina. <br /><br />This is not edgy branding; it is corporate sexual exploitation of minors.</p> <p><strong>Federal laws L&rsquo;Or&eacute;al has violated</strong></p> <ul> <li>Federal Trade Commission Act, Section 5 &ndash; unfair and deceptive acts</li> <li>FTC Endorsement Guides 2023 &ndash; &ldquo;extra care&rdquo; for minors</li> <li>Children&rsquo;s Online Privacy Protection Act &ndash; bans targeting under-13s</li> </ul> <p>These statutes exist to keep children out of the adult market. <strong>L&rsquo;Or&eacute;al ignored them and targeted minors anyway.</strong></p> <p><strong>CitizenGO&rsquo;s first legal move</strong> is to file a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. The filing will include Urban Decay&rsquo;s own marketing brief, naming girls 13-24 as the &ldquo;primary audience,&rdquo; the explicit ad transcripts, and platform-demographic evidence. L&rsquo;Or&eacute;al&rsquo;s board and legal office will be notified.</p> <p><strong>We demand:</strong></p> <ol> <li><strong>FTC must open a full investigation</strong> and levy penalties.</li> <li><strong>Force L&rsquo;Or&eacute;al to pull every ad</strong> and end porn-linked youth marketing, permanently.</li> </ol> <p><strong>Your signature matters because</strong> regulators act fastest when thousands of citizens speak at once. One family can be ignored; fifty thousand cannot. Every name added today signals to the FTC that parents, teachers, and consumers nationwide expect swift action and full accountability.</p>
Add your voice. Tell the Federal Trade Commission to act now and demand L’Oréal pull pornography and prostitution promotion out of children's marketing, permanently.

<strong>P.S.</strong> Regulators just hit YouTube for $30 M (Aug 2025) and TikTok for €530 M (May 2025) over child-targeted ads. L’Oréal faces the same legal hammer. Add your name.
