Clarins Skin Products

Clarins Skin Products: Good for Skin, Good for the Environment Everyone who cares about looking great and having younger and certainly healthier skin should know about Clarins Skin Products. This company was created in Paris, the city that personifies beauty and style, and now sells their fine products all over the world reaching more than 150 countries. It was 1954 when the company originated when its founder, Jacques Courtin-Clarins, then a medical student, experimented with various massage methods and found that his patients after his treatments not only had symptoms relieved, but actually had improved how they looked.   ###He began to concoct botanical and other natural products to enhance the appearance and the company began. His son Christian now runs the family company. Clarins Skin Products have always been carefully designed to be safe as well as being worthwhile to use. With his medical background, it is no surprise that Clarins wanted dermatologists to direct testing and monitor safety, and that policy continues with rigorous research and development ongoing in the company.

Clarins does not do animal testing and has not since 1987, the first French company to do so. Animal cellular components were phased out by 1991. In addition to using the purest natural plant products available, Clarins Skin Products are made with the environment in mind, and the company is exhaustively working to stop releasing pollutants and use all conservation methods available. This civic consciousness extends to their charitable work for children in ten countries, each year giving a “Most Dynamic Woman of the Year Award in each of them to further this work.

One of the ingredients you will find in every Clarins Skin Products daytime skin care offering is the exclusive blend of plant extracts called Anti-Pollution Complex, designed to guard skin against environmental toxins and the constant exposure to air pollution. Not only does it work, but it is constantly being adjusted as testing finds ways to make it better.
