It was the passion of one man, Jacques Courtin-Clarins, that lead to the creation of Clarins in 1954. His pioneering idea: to take Beauty seriously. Creating luxury products exclusively from plant extracts, the brand soon became a skin care leader in France (1980) and then Europe (1990). To get the best that nature has to offer, Clarins Laboratories use the most powerful active ingredients from plants in their optimal concentration, combining nature, science and respect to always create more efficient and distinct products.

From the start in 1954 Clarins had a goal of respecting the environment and preserving the planet’s natural resources, while creating effective products that deliver real results. Today, Clarins continues to design and produce its products in France and remains faithful to its original philosophy: listening to women to truly understand their needs, and developing safe, natural and highly effective skin care products.
