What is Green Science? It constitutes the set of advanced scientific territories such as biotechnology and Green Chemistry that enable us to develop effective, more sustainable ingredients and formulas. It covers three areas of expertise: cultivation, transformation, and formulation. -
What does this mean for people & planet? Because of these more potent formulas fueled by naturality, there is less impact on the planet, such as reduced water usage through the development of fast-rinse formulas and increased animal welfare with vegan ingredients.
MORE RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE MATERIALS
In 2019, thanks to the use of recycled plastic, we saved 3670 tons of first use plastic. End 2020, Fructis bottles will be made of 100% recycled plastic in Europe and in the US.
By 2025, all our products will be made out of 100% recycled plastic and will be 100% recyclable, refillable or reusable.

What has Garnier done to have more recycled and recyclable materials? Garnier has reduced the use of virgin plastic and made use of reusable or compostable plastic packaging. Some key highlights in 2023 include 89% of our PET plastic coming from recycled materials, while 80% of our packaging was recyclable. Moreover, of our commitment to Green Beauty, 98.5% of the paper and cardboard used for our product leaflets and folding boxes were made with materials from sustainably managed forests like FSC. -
What does Garnier's recycling strategy look like? To promote the circular economy, there are four science-based key-focus areas in our plastic stewardship: (1) We reduce plastic packaging whenever possible using the 5 Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Replace, Redesign, Refill) , (2) We phase out virgin plastics, (3) We build and support circular motels to close the loop on plastics, and (4) we actively tackle plastic waste. These areas are all taken into account with regards to the packaging and merchandising materials of Garnier.
