Clarins is a family-run French multinational cosmetics company, which was founded in Paris in 1954 by Jacques Courtin-Clarins.[1] In addition to manufacturing and selling cosmetics, skincare and perfume products, the company is also a major player in the spa and well-being sector.

Clarins operates in over 150 countries and is available at high-end department stores and selected retailers[2] with the Clarins and My Blend brands, and is a major luxury skincare brand in Europe.[3] Although more than 95% of its products are exported worldwide, they are formulated and designed in Clarins Laboratories in France.
