Schwarzkopf Gliss hair care products

Schwarzkopf Gliss is a globally recognized hair care brand with roots extending back to 1898, when German chemist Hans Schwarzkopf opened a pharmacy in Berlin. The brand is a pioneer in the industry, having introduced the world's first liquid shampoo in 1927. The Gliss range specifically focuses on hair repair technology, utilizing liquid keratin to restore damaged hair fibers.

Today, the brand is a core part of the Henkel Consumer Brands portfolio. Henkel, a German multinational giant, acquired Schwarzkopf in 1995, representing one of the largest acquisitions in the personal care sector. As of 2026, Henkel continues to drive the brand's growth through global innovation and localized production.

While the brand maintains its headquarters and primary research labs in Düsseldorf, Germany, manufacturing is distributed globally to serve various regional markets. Major production facilities are located throughout Europe (including Germany, Slovenia, and Hungary) and North America. Recent strategic moves have also seen the brand expand its local manufacturing footprint in regions like North Africa to improve market accessibility.
