About Garnier
Since its inception in 1904, Garnier has been a revered name in the world of cosmetics, a distinguished marque under the esteemed L'Oréal Group, the global leader in beauty. Originating as a purveyor of hair care solutions, Garnier has since evolved into a comprehensive beauty brand, encompassing skincare, hair color, and suncare, all while staying true to its heritage of innovation and natural ingredients.
Our story began with a revolutionary plant-based hair lotion, a testament to our unwavering commitment to harnessing the power of nature. This commitment remains our guiding principle today, as we continue to explore and incorporate the finest natural ingredients into our products. Our diverse range of offerings caters to a myriad of consumer preferences and concerns, reflecting our dedication to inclusivity and diversity.
Recently, we have taken significant strides in addressing skin tone diversity, with the launch of a specialized product line for black skin in Brazil, in collaboration with local artist Iza. This initiative is a testament to our dedication to serving all our customers, irrespective of their skin tone. As part of the L'Oréal family, we uphold the parent company's ethos of prioritizing research, innovation, and sustainability, ensuring that we deliver the best in beauty, responsibly and ethically.
Where to find the batch code on Garnier products?
Finding the batch code on your Garnier product is essential for tracking its freshness. For skincare products like serums or creams, look at the bottom of the glass jar or plastic bottle. The code is often etched into the container or printed in a small, contrasting color.
If you have a tube (like a cleanser or hand cream), check the crimped seal at the very top. For boxed items, Garnier usually stamps the same alphanumeric code on the outer packaging near the barcode or ingredient list. Most Garnier batch codes consist of 3 to 6 characters, combining letters and numbers.
Important: Period After Opening (PAO)
While the batch code reveals the expiration date for unopened products, the **Period After Opening (PAO)** symbol is what you must follow once you use the product for the first time. Look for an "open jar" icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., 6M, 12M). This indicates how many months your Garnier product remains safe and effective after the seal is broken.
