Batiste Bare Dry Shampoo (marketed as “Bare” / "Barely Scented") is a lightly fragranced aerosol dry shampoo formulated to absorb oil and refresh hair between washes; it is sold in multiple sizes and through major retailers worldwide. (batistehair.com.au)

Brand origin

Batiste traces its roots to the UK in the 1970s where the product was first created as a wet and dry shampoo range by Schwarzkopf; the brand later focused solely on dry shampoo and rose to prominence in the UK and internationally. (batiste-hair.eu)

Ownership and corporate position

The Batiste trademark and brand are part of Church & Dwight Co., Inc.'s portfolio; Church & Dwight markets Batiste globally and refers to the brand as a registered trademark in its communications. (prnewswire.com)

Manufacturing and distribution

Church & Dwight operates manufacturing and R&D facilities in Folkestone, Kent, UK — a major production site referenced by the company — and the Folkestone sites supply both domestic and international markets. Product listings and retailer manufacturer information also show additional European manufacturing/return addresses used for distribution (e.g., UK and France), indicating production and packaging occur in multiple locations for different markets. As a result, Batiste is primarily manufactured in the UK (Folkestone) but is also produced and handled in other manufacturing/distribution locations in Europe and for some markets.

How this relates to the photographed item

The photographed can matches the Batiste brand styling and the “Bare / barely scented” variant packaging commonly sold in the U.S. and other markets; barcode and lot-specific manufacturing site information are not visible in the image, so the manufacturing-country statement above is based on brand-level manufacturing footprints and retailer/manufacturer disclosures.
