Our expert beauty tip: apply this Clarins toning lotion after using a mask or exfoliating to remove every last trace of product and prep skin for the rest of your skin care ritual.

Since 1954, Clarins’ formulas have been inspired by the beauty of nature—an approach known as biomimicry: bio (life) and mimicry (to copy). Over the years, our researchers have observed thousands of plant ingredients, and applied their properties to the field of cosmetics to create skincare innovations that deliver unrivaled results.

Clarins strives to protect biodiversity, respect the planet, reduce our ecological footprint, and advance indigenous communities by creating new jobs, supporting farmers, and providing healthy working conditions for those who harvest our plants. Every one of the 200 plants in our Herbarium is responsibly sourced and backed by a strict charter that favors organic growing practices, short supply chains, and sustainable fair trade partnerships.

Since its creation in 1968, the Clarins Laboratories in Pontoise, France, have controlled each step of the manufacturing process: R&D, formulation, evaluation, microbiology, traceability, packaging, and regulation—a proximity that ensures only the safest, purest ingredients go into our skincare, and maintains the “Made in France” quality for which Clarins is world renowned.
