Clarins is dedicated to continous research and development of our packaging with the goal of reducing our environmental footprint
This approach to eco-friendly design is based on 3 key principles: reduce, reuse, and recycle, reflecting our ongoing commitment to protecting nature and preserving biodiversity—
a circular economy strategy to reduce over-consumption and limit waste.

Reducing
the waste of resources
We continue to reduce the environmental impact of our packaging by: redesigning outer cartons with cardboard sourced from sustainably managed forests, using raw materials from renewable sources, eliminating interior spacers and leaflets, and incorporating a miminum of 25% recycled glass.
In addition, we are minimizing our use of plastic in our packaging by favoring recycled PET in our bottles, caps, and gift sets -- reducing tons of plastic waste each year.
Reuse
to consume less
Give your Clarins containers a new life!
Allowing you to reuse or refill our products is one of our ambitions. Since 2018, our Treatment Fragrances have featured pumps that can be unscrewed for refilling.
And that’s only the beginning. Various refillable containers are currently in development, both for your skincare and your makeup.
Recycle
to limit our environmental impact
Right from the design phase of our products, we systematically prioritize recyclable and recycled materials.
70% of our packaging is made of glass or cardboard -- materials that are fully recyclable. We already use 30% recyclable materials in our packaging.
By 2025, 100% of our packaging will be recyclable or refillable. The same high standards and control are applied in our production plants, where 100% of our industrial waste is now reused.
We are also implementing systems to collect used packaging in our stores.
Respect
nature and natural resources
Clarins' fourth commitment is directly linked to nature, which has always inspired us and provided us with our most precious ingredients.
Respecting it means favoring sustainable farming based on the idea of doing more with less — the very principle of the circular economy: promoting sustainable agriculture, taking only the parts of plants that are not essential for their regrowth, engaging in wild harvesting that respects ecosystems, and reusing industrial waste (such as seeds or husks) to transform them into active ingredients. All of these values influence us in our daily work.

The Clarins Pack Score
evaluates our progress
In all aspects of our business, we are guided by a commitment to innovation and continuous improvement.
This essential principle led us to develop our own tool for measuring the environmental impact of our packaging: the Clarins Pack Score.
By 2025, all of our products will have been graded, with the goal of improving both the formula and packaging scores by 10%.
