Clarins was founded on the 15th March 1954, when Jacques Courtin opened his very first beauty spa on Rue Tronchet in Paris.

Courtin was passionate about making beauty more real and natural; this ambition is reflected throughout every Clarins launch to this day. His revolutionary holistic approach to beauty centred around the belief that well-being and happiness were inextricably linked to beauty.

he beloved Clarins brand continues to reap the rewards of nature wherever possible; today, Clarins use over 250 natural plant extracts in their formulas. By 2025, it aims for 80% of their ingredients to be organically cultivated, 100% of packaging to be recyclable and to have reduced their carbon footprint by 30%.
