Leonor Greyl, when the passion for nature meets the passion for haircare

It all starts in 1968 when two deeply passionate people meet: Léonor, a beauty and haircare addict, and Jean-Marie, a botanic nerd and engineer. Before organic and natural products were even a trend, they were both driven by the desire to create natural haircare treatments. Far from the silicon-driven brands of that time, Leonor and Jean-Marie created plant-based haircare products, with natural actives, and this is how Leonor Greyl, the green-chic brand was born.

Nowadays, the brand is still a family business. If it’s Leonor and Jean-Marie’s own daughter, Caroline has taken over along with her husband, a passionate American biologist, the brand is still loyal to its core values and its passion for healthy hair scalp and plants.

An iconic hair oil

It’s during a unique trip to The West Indies that the story of the iconic Leonor Greyl Pre-Shampoo Oil starts. Stuck on the island because of weather issues, Jean-Marie Greyl observes how the water slides along palm trees, without wetting the leaves. It’s the incredible properties of this plant that gives him the idea to create a pre-shampoo oil that’ll protect the hair from external aggressions by forming a water-repellent barrier on the hair. Between two dips in the ocean in the summer, to protect from the effects of UV rays, or as a deeply hydrating and restorative mask, this oil has quickly conquered the hair of beauty addicts to become the iconic haircare must-have.

Leonor Greyl, a committed brand

The French haircare brand designs and optimises its formulas from its own lab in the centre of Paris, while its products with natural formulas are guaranteed to be free of silicone, parabens, SLS or SLES, and its actives come from sustainable plantations, respecting the environment.

Committed to the defence of the environment and social rights, the brand is actively fighting:

  • Against animal testing with the label “Leaping Bunny”.

  • For the protection of oceans with the charity “Fleur Australe”. 

  • For bees’ protection with the charity “Un Toit pour les Abeilles”. 

  • For the recycling of hair as an anti-pollution barrier with the charity “Coiffeurs Justes”. 

  • For the waste traceability with the charity “La Collecte du Coiffeur”.

  • For young girls’ education with the charity “Toutes à l’École”.
