Foundation of Schwarzkopf

In 1898, the state-approved chemist, Hans Schwarzkopf, took over a dye, drug, and perfumery business in Berlin-Charlottenburg. The name Schwarzkopf has been synonymous with hair competence and values, such as modernity, high quality, and innovative strength.

Schwarzkopf has been part of Henkel since its acquisition in 1995. The brand’s successful history makes Schwarzkopf an ideal umbrella brand for a clearly differentiated brands portfolio serving both our consumer segment and our international hair salon business, Schwarzkopf Professional.
