Garnier believes that nature has provided the best self-care solutions, so that Garnier products always use natural ingredients.

As a world’s leading natural beauty brand, we have the opportunity to help create a positive impact by leading the way towards sustainable beauty that’s accessible to all.
GARNIER'S SUSTAINABILITY
More solidarity sourcing. We empower 670 communities as part of our ingredient sourcing programs. By 2025, this will include 800 communities.
How does Garnier help farmers?The Solidarity Sourcing program gives people typically excluded from the job market access to work and a sustainable income. We are committed to implementing fair trade practices across the supply chain, seeking to support and empower farmers and workers to help them improve their revenues and livelihoods. We also provide training to improve their skills in agriculture and give them the latest knowledge on organic farming.
What does it mean to be sustainably sourced?When Garnier selects its suppliers, we take into consideration traceability from known origin(s), ethical issues, the environmental impact, and social factors. We want our ingredients to be produced and harvested in a responsible and sustainable way. This includes the farmers, the land being used, farming practices, local communities, and many other aspects of sourcing.
What’s Garnier’s sustainable sourcing strategy?In 2020, 85% of our biobased ingredients are sustainably sourced. And we are striving for 100% of our biobased ingredients to be sourced sustainably by 2022. We are fully committed to protecting biodiversity and the planet by leveraging green sciences to offer our consumers the same high performance while ensuring that every Garnier product is more sustainable.
Sustainable sourcing is also our priority for our packaging. In 2020, 100% of our cardboard boxes and papers have a sustainably managed forest certification or come from recycled materials.
How is Garnier going greener?We have developed new 98% natural origin formulas and Ecocert-certified organic skincare and continuously reduced our products’ environmental and social footprints.
We are sourcing more and more of our natural ingredients sustainably every day, launching natural origin or eco designed formulas within all our product categories. In 2019 we introduced a new organic range. We have improved the sustainability performance of our factories significantly lowering our CO2 emissions and water consumption and reduced our use of virgin plastic in packaging while increasing recyclable content.
What is Green Sciences? Green science covers all scientific knowledge, including transforming natural raw materials into high-performing natural ingredients through processes like extraction or fermentation, in a sustainable way that respects the environment. Garnier harnesses the latest life sciences knowledge to unleash the power of nature in our high-performing, sustainable products.
What is green cultivation?Farming practices that promote the production of natural raw materials in a way that preserves ecosystems and reduces the impact on the environment. This could mean using less water, producing fewer carbon emissions and reducing waste.
How to be beauty responsible?Garnier was a pioneer in the transparency movement, disclosing the provenance of our ingredients starting in 2017. In 2020, we break new ground by sharing the environmental and social impact of our products through ambitious new environmental labeling to help make more sustainable choices.
We source more of our biobased and natural ingredients sustainably every day, with natural origin formulas in all our product categories, including our new organic range. We have improved the sustainability performance of our factories and reduced our use of virgin plastic in packaging while increasing recycled content.
Our Green Beauty strategy will enable us to make further progress by taking an end-to-end approach to beauty. This involves commitments to improve our products’ impacts throughout their lifecycle, helping to preserve natural resources, harness clean energy and prevent waste.
What does ‘eco-designed formula’ mean? With lifecycle assessments, our labs measure the environmental impacts of our products for many years. We focus on improving the biodegradability of our formulas, reducing our water footprint, and lower our products’ impact on the aquatic environment.
