Clarins and Fondation Arthritis: a special connection
At the heart of Fondation Arthritis is a love story. Disheartened by the suffering his wife endured due to rheumatoid polyarthritis, Clarins Founder Jacques Courtin-Clarins established the Association for Polyarthritis Research in 1989. In the 1990s, his energy and faith made a profound impact on the research being conducted in the field of chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases.

In the words of Dr. Olivier Courtin-Clarins
Arthritis a disease
that’s as old as the world…
but, over the past 40 years, these degenerative auto-immune diseases are being diagnosed more effectively. Some appear in childhood, some during the teen years and others in adulthood. They develop as the years go by and get worse, eroding joints and eroding one’s ability to find relief, well-being and peace with one’s body.”
Clarins and the Arthritis Foundation are proud to support the Cure RA* project
Rheumatoid Arthritis is an autoimmune osteoarticular disease. It destroys the joints of the hands and feet to the point of deforming them, resulting in severe mobility impairments. It is also characterised, in part, by the presence of autoantibodies which are abnormally produced by the immune system.
Unlike other treatments that only act on inflammation and not on its origin, the Cure RA project aims to develop one that directly targets the disease, before the inflammation stage. The goal? Long-term remission or even a cure.
