The power of plants

Hazel is a shrub that grows in the woods, hedgerows and throughout the forests of Europe. Linked to Celtic tradition, the tree was thought to possess many magical powers. Its abundant production of fruit, the hazelnut, came to symbolize fertility, and was also used to help find gold and water. Hazel was even said to encourage desire. From the hazelnut itself, a fine, edible oil is extracted which is used in cooking for its delicate flavor.

Skincare benefits of Hazelnut oil

In cosmetics, hazelnut oil softens, soothes and locks in moisture to visibly reduce fine lines.

Responsible sourcing

Protecting the soil and biodiversity is a longstanding commitment at Clarins. That’s why we have always given priority to plant-based key 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 which means we rely on both its organic and non-organic extracts to ensure that the volume we require for our products is met.
