Garnier (French pronunciation: [ɡaʁnje]) is a mass market cosmetics brand of French cosmetics company L'Oréal. It produces hair care and skin care products.
Laboratoires Garnier was founded in France in 1904 by Alfred Amour Garnier. [1] The company's first product was a patented as the first hair lotion derived from natural plant ingredients. [2] The company then introduced sun-care products in 1936, followed by permanent home hair color in 1960. [2]
Over the decades Garnier expanded from hair color and hair care into skincare since acquisition in 1970. [3] In the 2000s, Garnier launched a line of hair color products, including permanent and semi-permanent dyes. [4]
Garnier demonstrated concern about the diversity of skin tones in its products. In 2021, the brand launched a line of products aimed at black skin in Brazil. The product was co-created by the brand with Brazilian singer Iza and is especially aimed at darker skin tones. [5]
