The power of plants
Originating from Madagascar, the leaf of life is a fascinating plant - its leaves can quickly produce new plants, symbolizing the regenerating power of life. The plant itself appears green and fleshy even in extreme drought conditions. Known as a "succulent" plant since it is full of sap, the leaf of life has adapted to hydric stress thanks to molecules which act like sponges to retain water inside the leaves. This action, similar to that of hyaluronic acid - the skin's "sponge molecule" - inspired Clarins Laboratories. They have demonstrated the capacity of the organic leaf of life extract to encourage the synthesis of hyaluronic acid
Skincare benefits of Organic leaf of life extract
In cosmetics, organic leaf of life extract helps to protect the skin from dehydration by boosting its systems of self-hydration.
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. Our leaf of life extract is organically-certified and obtained using a natural and environmentally-friendly extraction process. Because our commitment to responsible agriculture concerns both plants and the people who grow them, in 2015, Clarins set up a fair trade supply chain In Madagascar in partnership with Jardins du Monde. This programme takes concrete action through several Initiatives in support of local communities. These include the building of schools, community buildings and sanitary equipment that improve access to education, favour social cohesion and improve hygiene.
