Clarins Research constantly develops innovative formulas for beauty that respects the world around us as well as your skin.
All Clarins formulas are subjected to over 250 checks during their development.
Numerous substances have been banned from our skincare products in order to guarantee the safest ingredients
for your skin.
We carry out up to 900 effectiveness tests for each of our products.
It takes at least 18 months to develop a new formula.
Do more, do it better and enjoy doing it...
Since our creation, this principle has guided us towards an idea of beauty that is both demanding and responsible. We systematically prioritise plant-based raw materials, while increasingly integrating more organic, local and fair trade ingredients into our products.
Year after year, we develop new products and improve our existing formulas using the latest innovations. This “open” research allows us to work towards more effective, natural and environmentally friendly treatments.
Our key figures
of the active ingredients in our products are of natural origin
By 2025, 100% of our suncare and rinse-off formulas will be biodegradable
to help protect ecosystems.
Before being incorporated into our products, all our raw materials are reviewed using
the Clarins Green Score.
This measurement tool allows us to accurately assess the environmental, social and health impact of our ingredients across a range of criteria. Each formula is then given an overall score, by adding up the scores of the substances it contains.
The goal?
To select the best mix of ingredients to develop safe and effective products that are also respectful of people and nature.
Our key figures
Improve the overall score of our products by at least 10%.
is based on 10 criteria, supported by 18 indicators.
When you love nature, protecting animals is a necessity.
Clarins stopped all animal testing many years ago in favour of alternative state-of-the-art methods. This allows us to guarantee high-quality products that are designed and manufactured with respect for animal welfare.
However, some countries require animal testing, which they carry out themselves to assess the safety of cosmetic products. We are obliged to comply with these regulations, but we are working closely with the relevant authorities to put an end to such practices.
