Garnier Solid Shampoo: A Step Further Towards Sustainability
Discover a new generation of sustainable beauty products
Garnier, the world’s leading natural beauty brand, is committed to the growing quest for natural solutions and ways to respect the environment. The brand has reinvented its iconic Ultra Doux line thanks to a new format: the solid shampoo.
94% plant-based ingredients pressed into a solid shampoo that is as caring as a liquid shampoo, but with zero plastic waste?
This has been made possible by Garnier, the brand that has succeeded in bringing these three elements together with its Ultra Doux solid shampoo.
Packaging reinvented for more sustainable beauty products
With these Ultra Doux shampoos, Garnier presents a new line of sustainable beauty products free of plastic packaging. It’s yet another step forward in its commitment to greener, and more sustainable beauty.
The shampoos in this line, available in five versions to suit all hair types, do not need any plastic wrapping. Sold in recycled cardboard packaging, both recyclable and FSC-certified*, it is the brand’s first no-waste shampoo.
*By using a FSC certified cardboard, Garnier supports forest management that respect people and nature.Discover Garnier Ultra Doux Solid Shampoo

Reducing plastic pollution
This new solid format also echoes Garnier’s commitment to put an end to the plastic pollution plaguing our oceans.
As part of this conviction, the brand began a partnership in 2019 with Ocean Conservancy.
Founded in 1972, this NGO fights to save marine ecosystems, with a particular focus on reducing human impact on our oceans. To spread awareness about marine pollution, they’ve been organizing an International Coastal Cleanup Day since 1986.
Every year, thousands of volunteers clean-up human-generated waste found on beaches, coastlines and along waterways.
In 2019, 355 Garnier employees participated in the coastal cleanup and collected 6 tonnes of litter. This concrete action illustrates the brand’s mission: free the planet from plastic waste!
