Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Our commitment to minimizing our environmental impact.

Since our beginnings, Clarins has been on a journey to passing on a more beautiful planet by working on respecting nature and biodiversity.

Through less packaging, refillable product, and favoring more sustainable materials, we’re steadily progressing towards our goals.

Reduce

We're constantly looking for ways to reduce the weight and volume of our packaging to help preserve nature's precious resources.

Focus on samples sizes to try before buying

40%

Our glass jars contain at least 40% recycled glass while their lids are made from recycled plastic.

47%

In 2023, we succeeded in halving the weight of our sample tubes by 47%.

100%

of the paper used from our boxes comes from sustainably-managed forests

Reuse

Since 2018, we have introduced refillable solutions across multiple product lines, aiming for 25% of our turnover to come from refillable products by 2030. Those products are refillable, please keep the empty jar.

Extra-Firming. Extra-Refillable.

Refilling an Extra-Firming cream - our first refillable moisturizer - reduces its environmental footprint by 84%* compared to using 3 non-refillable jars. And we're just getting started - there's more to come!

Totally transparent

Lock, load and lift with Total Eye Lift's patented^* refillable packaging. Thanks to its push & pull system and transparent packaging, you know exactly how much cream is left and when to refill it. In one click, the bottle is refilled and ready for use.

The result? 50% less metal, 33% less plastic, and 29% less cardboard when compared to buying a new bottle.^**

Refillable Eau Dynamisante et Eau Extraordinaire

Refillable Fragrances

We started with Treatment Fragrances featuring unscrewable caps for easy refilling. Since 2020, we have introduced the Clarins Eco-Bar in our Marais boutique in Paris, allowing customers to refill their Eau Dynamisante and Eau Extraordinaire.

Refillable Joli Rouge Lipsticks with an easy-to-replace bullet

A Lipstick for Life

For lipsticks with a longer lifespan, we designed the refillable Joli Rouge Lipsticks, delivering the same iconic shades with an easy-to-replace bullet.

One bottle, endless refills

Buy, refill, rejoice! Available in new refillable eco-packs, our iconic Toning Lotions, Cleansing Milk, Cleansing Oil and Tonic Bath & Shower Concentrate are now completely recyclable^*, and contain at least 49% recycled materials.

^*Refer to local recycling guidelines

In this way, we save resources, using

67% less glass, 40% less cardboard, and 42% less plastic by refilling.^*

Recycle

From the outset we design our packaging with sustainability in mind, prioritizing the use of recyclable glass and recycled plastics where possible.

Today

70%

of our packaging is recyclable, with a goal of 100% in 2030.

By 2030

we aim for at least

1/3

of our plastic to be sourced from recycled materials.
