Brand Description

  France www.clarins.com Sales: $1.7 billion Key personnel Christian Courtin-Clarins, president, supervisory board; Olivier Courtin-Clarins; Jonathan Zrihen, chief executive officer Major products Clarins, My Blend and spa formulas New products Extra-Firming Energy anti-aging day cream, Total Eye Lift, Lip Comfort Oil Shimmer, City Veil antipollution SPF 50 skin perfector Comments: Clarins remains one of the biggest family-owned beauty companies in the world. Founded by medical student Jacques Courtin-Clarins in 1954, his son Christian Courtin-Clarins took over the company in 2007 when his father died. Another brother, Dr. Olivier Courtin-Clarins, created the My Blend line of personalized cosmetics—well before bespoke skin care became de rigueur. In February, Groupe Clarins unveiled a new slogan, “Live Beautifully,” with an updated logo. The name Clarins appears in a red triangle. According to company executives, it’s sharper, like a sticker, and a bit irreverent. The new ad campaign ties it all together with ethnically-diverse models. In April, Clarins invested in Pai, a UK clean skin care brand. The investment was made via Famille C Venture, Clarins’ investment business. Pai is certified organic, vegan and cruelty free. It is sold primarily in three markets, UK, France and the US. According to the brand’s Founder and CEO Sarah Brown, who still holds the majority stake in the business, the funds will be used to move the manufacturing lab to a 37,000-square-foot new facility; a site large enough to increase capacity by 900%. More recently, Clarins joined seven other beauty marketers and suppliers to create “DNA & Cosmetics,” a consortium organized to guarantee the best possible traceability of plant raw materials. Using a scientific method based on DNA analysis, the members of the consortium plan to build the first reliable database that will guarantee the botanical authenticity of the plant resources used in their products. This cooperative model responds to consumer expectations of transparency and the UN’s sustainable development goals. The members of this consortium are recognized actors willing to commit to more secure supplies and controlled exploitation of plant resources. Other members of the consortium include: Codif Technologie Naturelle, Greentech, L’Oréal Research & Innovation, LVMH Recherche, Groupe Nuxe, Sederma and DNA Gensee.
