Sunflower skincare benefits | Discover Clarins Ingredient Library

The power of plants

“Helianthus,” the scientific name for the sunflower, comes from the Greek "helios" (sun) and "anthos" (flower) and is derived from Greek mythology. The legend tells of a young mortal called Clytia who falls in love with the god Helios and dies from love by constantly watching him. Moved by her plight, Helios turned her into a plant which tilts during the day to face the sun until it blooms.
