Our Commitment to Responsible Sourcing
Clarins looks to nature to create our plant-based formulas, and we recognize its gifts….as well as its fragility.
At a time when many of our planet’s ecosystems are under threat, we are more committed than ever to following sustainable agriculture practices that protect people and the planet.
The sourcing of our ingredients is at the heart of this responsible approach.
THE DOMAINES CLARINS
Two groundbreaking sites, driving innovation forward at Clarins
At Clarins, we're passionate about the plants that power our formulas.
To continue to lead the way in research and innovation, we own and operate two open-air laboratories and farms, known as the 'Domaines Clarins': Serraval in the French Alps, and recently acquired Sainte-Colombe in the South of France, which is planned to be fully operational in 2025.
With these two sites, Clarins continues to lead the way in pioneering sustainable beauty by tracking the traceability of raw materials, ensuring ethical and responsible sourcing, crafting the highest-quality, most effective formulas, and pursuing innovation, for a more responsible approach to beauty.
