Garnier Ambre Solaire

Garnier Ambre Solaire is a globally recognized sun care brand with deep French roots. It was pioneered in 1935 by Eugène Schueller, who also founded L'Oréal. The brand revolutionized the beauty industry by introducing the first tanning oil enriched with a sun filter, coinciding with the era of the first paid holidays in France. It quickly evolved from a single tanning oil to a comprehensive range of protective milks, sprays, and sensitive skin formulas.

While the brand was originally born under the Garnier name—originally established by Alfred Amour Garnier in 1904—it has been a core part of the L'Oréal Group since L'Oréal acquired Garnier in 1965. Today, the brand is managed under L'Oréal's Consumer Products Division. Manufacturing is primarily centered in France, leveraging the parent company's high-tech domestic production facilities, though regional production occurs in other European hubs to meet international demand.
