Garnier (French pronunciation: ​[ɡarniay]) is a mass market cosmetics brand of French cosmetics company L'Oréal. It produces hair care and skin care products.

Launch[]

The company started as Laboratoires Garnier in 1904 by French creator Alfred Amour Garnier, through the launch of his first patented plant-based hair lotion, La Lotion Garnier. In the 1930s, Garnier was an early producer of sun-care items and the first to make a permanent home hair color in 1960. It was acquired by L'Oréal in the 1970s.[1]

Expansion and products[]

Over the decades Garnier expanded from hair color and hair care into skincare since acquisition in 1970.[2]

Now, Garnier is sold in numerous countries worldwide, with specific product lines targeted for different skin types and cultures.[3][4]

A popular line, Fructis, started in 1996, is the Garner line of hair care and styling products. Garnier's hair color line, Nutrisse, was released in 2002. Amidst five divisions, Garnier currently have a variety of product lines such as:

  • Fructis
  • Ultimate Blends (Whole Blends in the USA)
  • Pure Active
  • Nutrisse
  • Olia
  • Color Sensation
  • SkinActive[2]
  • Original remedies
  • Hair Food
  • Organic

In 2011, Garnier partnered with TerraCycle to promote upcycling of product containers and the introduction of biodegradable products.[5][6] Later in 2019, they partnered with an environmental group called GoodPlanet Foundation to create a new line of organic, natural cosmetics Garnier Bio/Bio Garnier.[7]

In 2019, Garnier launched their virtual shade selector tool which allows customers to try on Garnier's range of permanent hair color options before making a purchase. The technology can be used either online or in stores selling the brand's products.[8] The technology has been trialed by Walmart and Walgreens.[9]
