Our Commitment to Responsible Sourcing
WHEN WE ARE INSPIRED BY NATURE EVERY DAY, WE CANNOT IGNORE ITS FRAGILITY.
At a time when many of our planet’s ecosystems are under threat, Clarins advocates for a more sustainable form of agriculture that protects both people and the planet.
THE SOURCING OF OUR INGREDIENTS IS AT THE HEART OF THIS RESPONSIBLE APPROACH.
Domaine Clarins
Exceptional raw materials sourced from regenerative agriculture
Located at an altitude of 1,400 metres in the French Alps, Domaine Clarins is our open-air laboratory and farm, directly inspired by regenerative agriculture.* Whether plants are cultivated or picked from the wild, all of our raw ingredients benefit from this high-quality environment, leaving them packed full of nutrients and active skincare ingredients.
*Regenerative agriculture is a responsible form of agriculture that protects the soil while encouraging biodiversity.

At Domaine Clarins, we harvest more than 2.5 tonnes of fresh raw ingredients each year, hand-picking wherever possible to preserve their freshness and maximise their efficacy.
We use this research facility to study new plant-based active ingredients, and to source many of the ingredients that are already being used in our treatments. This controlled approach enables us to provide the highest standards of quality, safety, and 100% traceability from field to jar, helping us to do all we can to reduce our environmental impact.
Domaine Clarins is not open to the public, but the beauty of this unspoiled land is visible from a distance. Explore this majestic site, where the future of beauty is being written, with our virtual tour.
