The power of plants
The ginger lily is also known as the "butterfly lily" due to the butterfly shape of its flower, which has large petals and long stamens. The plant originates from Asia and is now found in many intertropical regions. It is grown as an ornamental plant, and its white flowers are also famous for their robust and jasmine-like fragrance. It is Cuba's national flower, called "flor de mariposa" and used in bridal bouquets.

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. For example, ginger lily is an organically-certified plant and the extract we use in our products is obtained using a natural and environmentally-friendly method. Because our commitment to responsible agriculture concerns plants and the people who grow them, Clarins works with a ginger lily supply chain In Madagascar. The programme is made up of different initiatives that support responsible development. For example, our supplier works closely with a Madagascan partner to help local populations. Through this intermediary, Clarins has contributed to constructing nearly 20 classrooms. There are also teacher training programmes and social subsidiaries in place, book and food aid programmes in schools and a project that facilitated the renovation and equipment of a health centre.
