Why not 100% natural ingredients?
The remainder of the ingredients used in our products are biodegradable synthetic ingredients, which are only used when needed for safety or sensorial reasons, or alternatively for the effectiveness of products. With more than 95% of the active ingredients used in our products being of natural origin, we do our utmost to use plant based ingredients to deliver the most natural skincare and make-up products. You can explore our Herbarium, a collection of all the plants used in Clarins formulas.
Where do the active plant ingredients in Clarins products come from?
We primarily source our plant-based and natural ingredients from France, then from the rest of Europe . When we aren’t able to find the best active ingredients required by our phytochemists here, we look farther afield. Sourcing certain ingredients from countries with a low Human Development Index means we can support Fair Trade programmes worldwide, encouraging local populations to develop their know-how and economy, while respecting their ecosystems.
When it comes to sourcing our ingredients, we prefer traceable ingredients from sustainable sources. As a bare minimum, we give priority to extracts from certified organically grown plants or their certified organic extracts. This helps us formulate the cleanest beauty products possible. When ingredients aren’t organically farmed or certified organic, we work with our suppliers to help them move towards organic methods.
