He dreamed of a company that would listen to its customers and innovate constantly to reveal and share the power of plants. A company that would value social and environmental responsibility. Driven by these convictions, he founded Clarins, which became an exceptionally successful family business.
His sons, Christian and Olivier Courtin-Clarins, inherited these values. Under their leadership, Clarins has grown, becoming a major player in the global beauty market. For the past several years, their daughters have also worked by their sides and continue to rise together to new challenges.
The company is present in more than 150 countries with its brands Clarins and My Blend as well as its Spa business. It is the number one high-end beauty company in Europe*. Though 90% of its products are exported, Clarins continues to formulate and manufacture them at Clarins Laboratories in France.
Underpinned by the talents of its 8,500 employees, Clarins continues to pursue a long-term vision focused on the assets that have led to its success: strong customer relations, continuous innovation, and a commitment to responsible beauty. These same values will continue to nurture its pioneering spirit.
Clarins Group Values
The culture that brings us together is expressed and passed on through values that guide our decisions, commitments and acts every day.
“For Clarins, beauty means nothing unless it is backed by generosity, kindness and compassion.” Jacques-Courtin-Clarins
Clarins’s culture is guided by respect for the world around us and the things that bring us together in our mission: the environment, employees and consumers.
Respect stems from the human touch that has guided Clarins since its creation and is underpinned by the authenticity
we embody in all our endeavors. This principle of responsibility and transparency concerns all stakeholders, and particularly consumers and employees.
United by this dual imperative, the women and men of Clarins express their talents by taking initiatives and innovating every day. This audacity of entrepreneurs who take risks and whom we support is at the heart of our collective commitment to cooperation.
Our passion for working together for the common good, to uphold our shared mission and ambitions, lends meaning to our daily efforts, which we gladly give with humility, steadfastness and engagement.
