The power of plants

With its ability to insert roots into the smallest crack of a rock to find the water it needs to grow, the fig tree is a true representation of the will to survive. It requires no special attention or care, yet produces an abundance of figs—small downy fruits with soft, sweet flesh and high nutritional value. Originating in the Middle East and the Mediterranean Basin, the fig has been an integral part of the history of this region since ancient times, and is often mentioned in ancient texts as a symbol of fertility.

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 fig tree, we practice multi-sourcing which means we rely on both organic* and non-organic extracts to ensure that the volume we require for our products is met. *Organic ingredients are produced in accordance with European regulation (CE 2018/848).
