The power of plants

The hazel is a shrub that grows in woods and hedgerows which can be found throughout the forests of Europe. Linked to Celtic tradition, the tree was considered to possess many magical powers - it symbolized fertility due to its abundant production of fruit, the hazelnut, and was also used to help find gold and water. It was even said to encourage desire. From the hazelnut, a fluid, fine, edible oil is obtained which is used in cooking for its delicate flavour.

Responsible sourcing

Protecting the soil and biodiversity is a longstanding commitment at Clarins. That’s why we have always given priority to plant-based active ingredients sourced from organic agriculture, grown using sustainable farming methods that respect nature and the health of the soil. For certain plants, like the hazelnut tree, we practice multi-sourcing meaning that we rely on both its organic and non-organic extracts in order to ensure that the volume that we require for our products is met.
