Garnier Canada emphasises sustainability, cruelty-free practices, and making beauty tools available to everyday users.

Educational content (“Tips & How-Tos”) helps consumers understand usage, difference between products, care routines. Virtual shade / try-on tools allow the user to upload a photo or use camera to preview hair colour.
