Our 3-pronged approach Plants Everything nature has to offer Clarins Research is inspired by nature. Today, 80% of the active ingredients used in our formulas come from a private herbarium of over 200 plants - our greatest asset. We are always trying to improve the quality and traceability of our supply chains, and continue to give priority to those that respect the planet, plants and people. Clarins Research has established criteria that any new species joining our catalogue must meet, with particular attention paid to sustainable agricultural practices. Discover our active ingredients
Our 3-pronged approach Natural derivatives Traceability and green chemistry Naturally-derived ingredients are substances of natural origin - vegetable or mineral - which have undergone modifications to provide beneficial properties for the skin. This includes certain active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, delivery systems and agro-sourced solvents. For these ingredients we choose materials that are easily biodegradable and whose manufacturing processes respect the principles of green chemistry. We also ensure they can be traced back to the country of origin. For each of these supply chains, we work in partnership with our suppliers to create programs that protect biodiversity and local communities. Discover our active ingredients
