Schwarzkopf Hair Care Products

Schwarzkopf is one of the world's most recognizable hair care brands, boasting a legacy that spans over 125 years. The brand was founded in 1898 by Hans Schwarzkopf, a chemist and pharmacist who opened a small 'dye, drug, and perfume' shop in Berlin. Schwarzkopf is credited with several industry 'firsts,' including the invention of the first liquid shampoo and the first home hair color product, which revolutionized the beauty market.

In 1995, the brand was acquired by the German consumer goods giant Henkel, a move that significantly expanded Henkel's footprint in the beauty sector. Today, Schwarzkopf operates as a leading umbrella brand under the Henkel Consumer Brands division, encompassing a wide range of retail and professional salon products such as Gliss, got2b, and Igora Royal.

While the brand maintains deep roots in Germany—with major production facilities in locations like Wassertrüdingen and its global headquarters in Düsseldorf—its manufacturing operations are global to serve more than 150 countries. Henkel has committed to making these production sites more sustainable, with goals to achieve climate-neutral production by 2030.
