No.2 A very French approach to beauty
Since its founding in 1954, Clarins has passed on its passion for beauty from one generation to the next. From the iconic Lip Comfort Oil to the bestselling* Beauty Flash Balm, Clarins has remained synonymous with authentic French beauty, championing women's desire to feel their best, their way.

*at ClarinsNo.3 A family affair
Above all, Clarins is the story of a French family. It all began in Paris on March 15, 1954, when Jacques Courtin-Clarins opened his first Clarins Institute with the pioneering belief that well-being and happiness were inextricably linked to beauty⁠—a daring holistic vision that would go on to change the face of French beauty. Today, the Courtin-Clarins family continues to lead the brand with passion and determination, honoring the heritage of one of France's best-loved Maisons while looking resolutely toward the future.
