Over 50% of women claim to have sensitive skin

In collaboration with scientists, known sensitive skin experts, Clarins have developed the Calm-Essentiel range

Many women have delicate, sensitive skin that seems to react to everything. In collaboration with scientists, known sensitive skin experts, Clarins developed the Calm-Essentiel range, formulated with essential ingredients for optimal tolerance. Sensorial products with a delicate, embracing fragrance which soothes the mind. Results are surprising: skin is comforted and looks radiant. Day after day, its tolerance threshold is improved.

Clarins innovation: sclareolide 

Over 50% of women claim to have sensitive skin. Clarins Laboratories extracted a purified molecule from the flowers and leaves of the clary sage plant - sclareolide - that works in harmony with the skin and helps soothe and protect it.

A new plant discovery: clary sage

Identified among 75 plants studied by Jean-Pierre Nicolas, an ethno-botanist working in close collaboration with Clarins, clary sage is a plant with beneficial and soothing properties which has been known for centuries. The Romans considered it to be a divine herb and used it as a “well-being” plant.

In France, Charlemagne ordered it to be grown in gardens to help improve people’s health. During the Renaissance, it was used to soothe the skin.
