Garnier USA Delivers Hand Sanitizers to Frontline Retail Employees Across America in the Most Affected Areas in the Fight Against COVID-19

NEW YORK, May 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Garnier USA proudly announces a commitment in the fight against COVID-19. In response to the hand sanitizer shortage situation and the requests from the brand's mass market and drug retail partners, Garnier will produce 2 million units of 4- fluid ounce hand sanitizers at their Franklin, New Jersey manufacturing facility. The hand sanitizers will begin distribution in May 2020 free of charge to frontline retail employees in the most affected areas of the country.

"We are very grateful for the hard work of essential employees and the service they are bringing to our local communities. Our number one priority at Garnier is to take care of each other. We are working as quickly as possible to produce hand sanitizers to help frontline retail employees stay safe and healthy during this Coronavirus outbreak," says Alanna McDonald, President of Garnier USA.

Garnier's Global Commitment in the Fight Against COVID-19
The Garnier brand is also making a global financial commitment to the fight against COVID-19 by contributing more than $1 million to support the International Federation of the Red Cross (IFRC) and Red Crescent Societies.

Furthermore, as part of L'Oréal's Coronavirus Solidarity Program, Garnier is currently producing and distributing millions of units of hand sanitizer free of charge to all of its food retailers' employees in Europe. Providing this in-kind donation of sanitizer is a way for Garnier to protect and thank those who are working tirelessly to make our daily life possible.
