The power of plants

Ginseng is a large yellowy-white, gnarled root from Northeast Asia and is known by various poetic names—Root of Heaven, Promise of Eternal Life and Flower of Life. Its story started in China, in approximately 3,000 BC, when Emperor Chen-Nong, founder of agriculture, chose ginseng as the “heavenly” plant and made a precious elixir from it, reserved solely for the emperors.

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 ginseng, 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).
