The power of plants
The coconut is the well-travelled fruit of the coconut tree, an elegant palm from hot regions of the world. It is believed to have originated in South Asia before colonizing the tropical coastlands of Africa, America and Oceania, thanks to its ability to float for days and retain its capacity to germinate. The coconut tree is one of the oldest known "useful" plants. The coconut's fruit alone is a complete food with its sweet, white nourishing flesh and deliciously refreshing, slightly milky water.

Responsible sourcing
Protecting the soil and biodiversity is a longstanding commitment at Clarins. That's why we have always prioritized plant-based active ingredients sourced from organic agriculture, grown using sustainable farming methods that respect nature and soil health. In addition, for certain plants like the coconut tree, we practice multi-sourcing, meaning that we rely on both organic and non-organic extracts to ensure that the volume required for our products is met.
