Jacques Courtin-Clarins was a medical student intrigued by the benefits of botanical oils when paired with massage. Though his products were first developed for treatment of the body, the Clarins range of beauty products evolved to include facial products, harnessing the benefits of natural ingredients – Clarins was the first company to produce such products using 100% pure plant extracts.
The Clarins product collection has deep roots in the therapeutic world – the backbone of much of their product research is based on the principle that most skin problems are caused by sluggish circulation. By stimulating the body’s natural circulation, the Clarins system of skin care products work to preserve the health and balance of skin, as well as boosting energy.
Facial care products from Clarins are the result of forty years’ research. The present collection includes cleansers, exfoliators, beauty masks, moisturisers, firming products and specially formulated products for sensitive areas, such as the eyes. Products in the Clarins facial care line work together to give you the best results from your daily regime, as well as providing extra cleansing or conditioning treatments if you require them.
Clarins makeup range is enriched with natural botanical extracts to enhance the condition of your skin. Foundations include moringa extract, to nourish and moisturise; their lipsticks use vegetable and natural oil extracts to soften and soothe; and, Clarins mascara includes beneficial plant waxes to condition and enhance your lashes. Their claim is that the more you use Clarins products, the better your skin will be – looking at the ingredients alone, they can’t be far off.
There is a good collection of body products in the Clarins family. Body products by Clarins include excellent smoothing and softening treatments; creams to shape, firm and enhance natural body contours; relaxing bath and shower tonics; and even an inventive lotion to enhance and uplift the bust area, which is particularly beneficial following pregnancy and nursing. Also in the Clarins arsenal is a wide selection of self-tanning, sun and after sun care products for all skin types. Clarins also has a line of fine fragrance, par Amour, which launched a few years ago and has since been complimented by par Amour Toujours – designed specifically for young women.
The most recent collection to be added to the Clarins family is the new line of products specially formulated for men. The range includes shaving, moisturising, and cleansing products as well as hair care and deodorants.
All Clarins products undergo extensive quality and safety testing, dermatologically tested, however, Clarins does not test any of its products on animals. The company welcomes feedback from customers, includes a card in every order from their website to encourage comments. Customers can submit beauty questions to experts by email, personalised responses from Clarins experts. Additionally, the company offers free samples to customers on a seasonal basis.
