Schwarzkopf Taft Power Invisible Styling Gel

Schwarzkopf Taft Brand Overview

Taft (marketed under the umbrella brand Schwarzkopf) is one of Europe's most famous and long-standing hair styling lines, celebrated for introducing hairspray to the German market in 1955. Schwarzkopf itself traces its roots back to 1898, when chemist Hans Schwarzkopf opened a drugstore in Berlin and subsequently pioneered powdered shampoo.

Ownership and Corporate Structure

In 1995, the Düsseldorf-based multinational consumer goods giant Henkel AG & Co. KGaA acquired Schwarzkopf. Taft operates under Henkel's Consumer Brands business unit. Henkel remains the ultimate corporate parent, headquartered in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Manufacturing and Distribution

Taft styling gels and hairsprays sold within Germany and wider Europe are primarily manufactured in Henkel's production facilities across Germany and neighboring European Union countries (such as Slovenia and Poland).
