About Us

It all began in Paris on March 15, 1954, when Jacques Courtin-Clarins opened his first Clarins Institute with the belief that well-being and happiness were inextricably linked to beauty—a daring holistic vision that he was the first to express and apply. At the same time, celebrities were beginning to unveil their bodies on the covers of magazines. The era of physical and mental freedom was dawning—a revolution in which Jacques Courtin-Clarins played an important role by telling women, "Yes, you are beautiful!”.

The story of a French family – expert in skin care and make-up. Inspired by the science of nature. At Clarins, we pass on our passion for beauty and devote our lives to it from one generation to the next.
