About

Garnier, founded in 1904 by Alfred Amour Garnier in France, is a mass‑market cosmetics brand owned by L'Oréal. It pioneered the first plant‑derived hair lotion and later added sun‑care, permanent hair colour, and ammonia‑free colour lines such as Olia. The brand expanded internationally, launching micellar water in the US (2016), a Brazil line for black skin (2021), and a 96% naturally derived skin‑care range (2018). In 2021 it earned Cruelty Free International's Leaping Bunny certification.
