History of Clarins
Clarins is a French luxury skincare and cosmetics brand founded in 1954 by Jacques Courtin-Clarins. The company started with a small beauty institute in Paris, where Courtin-Clarins introduced plant-based treatments and emphasized natural ingredients, setting the foundation for the brand's philosophy. Over the years, Clarins gained popularity for its innovative skincare solutions, including its use of botanical extracts and research-backed formulations.
Expanding globally, Clarins became a leader in the beauty industry, offering a wide range of skincare, makeup, and fragrance products. The brand remained family-owned, with Jacques Courtin-Clarins' son, Christian Courtin-Clarins, continuing the legacy. Today, Clarins is recognized for its commitment to sustainability, responsible sourcing, and continuous innovation in skincare, making it one of the most respected names in luxury beauty.
