MONTREAL, May 8, 2020 /CNW Telbec/ - Following the launch of its COVID-19 Solidarity Plan on March 17, 2020, L'Oréal Canada shifted the production of its Canadian plant, located in Montreal, to include the manufacturing of hand sanitizing (hydroalcoholic) gel. To date, nearly 160 000 bottles of disinfectants have been given to healthcare professionals in Canada and more than $ 200,000 in cash donations and products were offered to hospitals.

Garnier Canada and its teams are very proud to be one of the key contributors to the L'Oréal Group's Worldwide Coronavirus Solidarity Plan. In conjunction with L'Oréal Canada's actions, Garnier has announced they will be producing units of hand sanitizing gels at their local certified carbon-free plant. True to Garnier's commitment to reduce their carbon and environmental footprint, each bottle of hand sanitizer will be 100% recyclable and made with 50% recycled materials.

Gel units produced locally will be donated to Canadian front line healthcare professionals. In addition to the donation Garnier Canada is proud to help their community protect themselves by making their hand sanitizer gels accessible for purchase in drugstores and mass retailers at MSRP $3.49 (100ml available) as of May 11th, 2020.

"During these uncertain times, it's important for Garnier Canada to remain true to its core value. In producing it locally at our Canadian carbon-free plant, we are launching a formula that is effective yet respectful to the environment. We believe this to be the beginning of a significant partnership with front line workers who are helping to protect us." - Ali Fakih, Garnier Canada General Manager

The Garnier hand sanitizing gel is made of 65% alcohol and kills harmful bacteria and germs. The formula has also been tested under dermatological control, is fragrance-free and contains glycerin to help with the drying effect of alcohol.
