On the production sites
The waste produced is strictly managed, whether it comes from laboratory work or industrial and logistical operations. Today, we are proud to report that there is 100% maximized use of waste.
Starting this year, Clarins will use renewable energy sources to supply its logistical platform in Amiens, Paris.
In the choice of ingredients
Since everything can be found in plants, Clarins has its use of plants a key component of the brand, which has been a great benefit to many animal species. tarting in 1991, Clarins has eliminated the use of cellular extracts of animal origin.
Testing
Respect for the environment goes beyond just the choice of ingredients. In 1987, Clarins was the first French company to stop all product testing on animals. Clarins concern for the environment is also evident through its support of envirnmentally conscious organizations such as Alp Action. Headed by Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan, this team supports the preservation and restoration of several natural sites in the Alps, and the Herbarium.
