Clarins is a global leader in luxury skincare and cosmetics, renowned for its pioneering fusion of science and nature. Founded in Paris in 1954 by Jacques Courtin‑Clarins, the brand revolutionized the beauty industry by being the first company to add plant extracts to skincare for their unique benefits.

With products crafted exclusively in France and exported to nearly 150 countries, the company's products are sold both online and at high-end department stores and retailers. The brand has been the number one luxury skincare brand in Europe since in 1990s, and its flagship Double Serum is ranked the bestselling serum worldwide, with one bottle sold every 3 seconds.

Clarins owns numerous brands including its eponymous brand Clarins, myBlend, ILIA Beauty, and was a major player in the fragrance industry through the Clarins Fragrance Group until it sold its fragrance division to L'Oréal in 2020.
