In partnership with Garnier

For the past three years, Garnier has proudly partnered with the Great Barrier Reef Foundation through the PlantACoral campaign, raising funds to support Coral IVF – a world-first technique designed to restore damaged areas of the Great Barrier Reef by seeding them with new baby corals.

From 24 September to 4 November 2025, for every Garnier product purchased in-store or online at Coles, Garnier will fund the release of a baby coral onto the Great Barrier Reef, with the goal of dispersing up to 700,000 baby corals during the November/December 2025 coral spawning season. 

To date, this partnership has already supported the seeding of 1.4 million corals, and we’re excited to see this number grow in 2025. 

Garnier is on a mission to create a positive impact by leading the way towards more sustainable beauty for all, with maximum efficacy and reduced impact on the planet. The partnership with the Foundation is one of the ways the global beauty brand is working to give back to the environment.

What is Coral IVF?

Each year during a November or December full moon, a synchronised natural phenomenon occurs when millions of corals release tiny eggs and sperm bundles into the water simultaneously. This is called Coral Spawning. During this event, researchers capture coral spawn from healthy reefs to rear millions of baby corals in specially designed floating pools before dispersing them onto damaged reefs to restore and repopulate them. 

The baby corals settle onto those reefs and in years to come produce their own coral babies, building resilience and coral diversity.
