About Clarins

Clarins has been producing cosmetics and skincare products since 1954. The Clarins Group prides itself on consumer safety and the protection of the environment and animals, so in 1994, the French company decided to stop using ingredients of animal origin in it’s formulas. This move cemented Clarins place in history as the first cosmetics company to end the use of ingredients derived from animals. Earlier on, in 1987, Clarins also became the first cosmetics company to stop all product testing on animals and in 1991, it stopped using cellular extracts of animal origin.

Instead of using animal ingredients, Clarins uses plants – the key component of the Clarins brand. The use of plants has benefited the animal species as well as the environment. Clarins environmentally conscious actions don’t stop at animals. The brands production sites are strictly managed. The company reports 100% maximized use of waste and they plan to use renewable energy sources to supply its logistical platform in Amiens, Paris beginning this year (2009).

Instead of using animal ingredients, Clarins uses plants – the key component of the Clarins brand. The use of plants has benefited many animal species as well as the environment. Clarins’ environmentally conscious actions don’t stop at protecting animals. The brands production sites are strictly managed. The company reports 100% maximized use of waste, and they plan to use renewable energy sources to supply their logistical platform in Amiens, Paris beginning this year (2009).

Since 1954, Clarins’ goal was to create highly effective products containing the highest quality ingredients while respecting the environment and preserving the planet’s resources. So, in addition to using plant products in cosmetics instead of animal products, and managing waste effectively, Clarins supports a wide range of environmentally conscious organizations such as Alp Action. Alp Action supports the preservation and restoration of several natural sites in the Alps and the Clarins Herbarium. Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan heads the organization.

Once Clarins products leave the Clarins laboratories and processing centers, Clarins goes a step further by enforcing a policy called “cosmetovigilance.” This means that the company monitors products after their distribution on the market. According to the Clarins website, “in close collaboration with the Client Relations department at Clarins company headquarters in Neuilly, the collection and analysis of client complaints was instituted, focusing on, but not limited to: product identification, description of symptoms and the conditions of their appearance.” This ensures that Clarins’ original mission is fulfilled – to offer consumers the safest and most effective products, without compromising the environment.
