Peachy Deegan Shares the History of Clarins
You know we love history and we love Clarins, so we thought you'd especially love them together too! From our friends at Clarins:
In 1954, Jacques Courtin-Clarins decided to “take beauty seriously” and developed 1 unique philosophy: Develop a dialogue with women to satisfy their desires for well-being and respect them by offering a range of the best plant-based skin care products distinguished by their innovation and effectiveness.
These products and their application methods met with immediate success. On this basis, in the early nineties the Group became the European leader in skin care products and expanded into 2 other cosmetics segments: make-up and perfume, through 4 prestige brands: Clarins, Thierry Mugler, Azzaro and Stella Cadente.
Today the Group has well-established worldwide reputation supported by: an expanding international network of 20 distribution subsidiaries, a presence in 150 countries, a gross workforce of 6,100 employees, 19,000 points of sale and net sales approaching the €1 billion milestone.

With Clarins, a client is never alone. Listening to our clients and their beauty concerns has always been a top priority as it creates an ongoing dialogue and sense of respect. The client card, found in every retail product, allows men and women to share their opinions with us and therefore influence the creation of future products. And clients receive a personalized answer to all of their beauty questions. Taking feedback seriously has contributed to the happiness and even overall health of our clients.
Loving souls are creative souls, which is why we create products for every beauty need and desire. We know that every person is unique and we listen to each and every one of them. We know that money makes no difference when love is concerned, so we've given our Laborotories only one directive: to offer the very best.
To us, love also means being available. That's why we are always there to accompany, to guide and to give advice. Lastly, love also means making the world a better place. That's why we protect nature because she gives us the rarest and the most effective ingredients. It's a fact. With Clarins, life's more beautiful.
“I created Clarins out of love and respect for women’s beauty” – Jacques Courtin-Clarins
After his medical studies, Jacques Courtin-Clarins dedicated himself to esthetic treatments by opening the first Clarins Institut in Paris in 1954.
Vowing to "do better, do more and enjoy doing so", he created new massage methods using the first 100% pure plant extract treatment oils.
Sharing the same passion, his two sons joined Clarins. Today, Christian Courtin-Clarins presides over the company, continuing to ensure its future growth, and Olivier Courtin-Clarins, the General Director, oversees the creation of new Institutes and Research.
