Our Commitment to more Responsible Sourcing
When we are inspired by nature every day, we cannot ignore its fragility.
At a time when many of our planet’s ecosystems are under threat, Clarins acts for a more sustainable form of agriculture that respects people and the planet through ethical and responsible sourcing.
SOURCING IS AT THE HEART OF OUR RESPONSIBLE APPROACH.
THE DOMAINE CLARINS
Two groundbreaking sites, driving innovation forward at Clarins
At Clarins, we're passionate about the plants that power our formulas.
To continue to lead the way in research and innovation, we own and operate two open-air production sites, known as the 'Domaines Clarins': Serraval in the French Alps, and Sainte-Colombe in the South of France.
With these two sites, Clarins continues to lead the way in pioneering sustainable beauty by tracking the traceability of raw materials, ensuring ethical and responsible sourcing, crafting the highest-quality, most effective formulas, and pursuing innovation, for a more responsible approach to beauty.

HARVESTING:
Each leaf is hand-picked to presrve its freshness

PROCESSING:
Once they're picked, the leaves are machine-chopped and dried in the open air away from the sun

AFTER DRYING:
The leaves are sent for extraction, before being incorporated into each formula and packaged at Clarins' Pontoise factory just outside of Paris
