Pioneering Natural Skincare
Clarins secret is in their natural, plant-based ingredients, clearly drawing on aromatherapy and phytotherapy theory in developing their products. Their first ever products, 100% pure plant extract Face and Body Oils remain their best-sellers even today.
Clarins is continually in search of new and rare plants with perceptible beautifying qualities. This is why they closely collaborate with ethno-pharmacologist, Jeanne-Pierre Nicolas of ‘Jardins du Monde’ meaning Gardens of the World.
“For Clarins, the vegetal world is an endless source of inspiration and innovation” – Dr Olivier Courtin-Clarins

Clarins Innovations
Clarins claim ‘visible results’ not ‘miracles’. This unique philosophy has one them awards from journalists, professionals and clients who have personally experienced these results.
Clarins Laboratories have continually made radical scientific discoveries such as their Anti-Pollution Complex, Phytosanctyl 2 Sun Care, a combination of Tiliroside with its restructuring action and their Firming Complex.
Respecting Biodiversity
Clarins are an eco-minded beauty company that believes in Fair Trade, involving local populations in their purchases of plant-based ingredients. Clarins economically supports community projects in Madagascar, as they source plants with cosmetic properties from here i.e. Katafray which reinforces the skin’s barrier to enhance hydration.
