Our Commitment to Responsible Sourcing
Clarins looks to nature to create
our plant-based formulas,
and we recognize its gifts…
as well as its fragility.
At a time when many of our planet’s ecosystems are under threat, we are more committed than ever to following sustainable agriculture practices that protect people and the planet.
The sourcing of our ingredients is at the heart of this responsible approach.
Exceptional raw materials, sustainably sourced from organic* agriculture.
Nestled at an altitude of 1,400 meters, Domaine Clarins is our private,
state-of-the-art, open-air laboratory and farm in the French Alps.

At Domaine Clarins, our plants are grown at a high altitude, where the soil is pollution-free, and organic* sustainable farming methods are practiced.
We use traditional techniques—including horse-drawn plows—and minimal technology, to preserve the health of the soil, and create ideal conditions for growing the highest quality plant ingredients for our products.
We use this research facility to study new plant actives, and to source many of the ingredients that are already being used in our treatments. This controlled farm-to-jar approach enables us to provide the highest standards of quality, safety, and traceability.
Domaine Clarins is not open to the public, but the beauty of this unspoiled land is visible from the distance. Explore this majestic site with our virtual tour, where the future of beauty is being written.
