Clarins SM Makati

Introducing Clarins.

Clarins’ history starts in 1954 on rue Tronchet in Paris. In his beauty institute, Jacques Courtin-Clarins developed a massage oil with essential oils and slimming properties designed to increase the effectiveness of skin-firming massages. At the request of his customers, he decided to sell it. And that was the beginning of the relationship marked by trust and dialogue that continues to this day.

Supported by its founder’s motto – “Do more, do better and enjoy doing so” – the address in Paris has become an internationally renowned group, the world leader in cosmetics, skin care, make-up and fragrance, and a major fashion player.

The Clarins brand was ranked first for high-end face care products in most European countries* and body care products in Europe and Asia-Pacific**. Its anti-ageing expertise has been confirmed with its top 10 ranking in most European countries and Asia in this segment.The make-up activity is pursuing accelerated growth: in Russia, Clarins is positioned in the top 10 best-selling make-up brands. Angel and Alien by Mugler shine in the top 10 best-selling perfumes in France, the United Kingdom, Germany and the Spain***, while Azzaro pour Homme is one of the best-selling fragrances in Brazil.

In 2008, Christian and Olivier Courtin-Clarins initiated a takeover bid following which the Clarins group was delisted from the Paris Stock Exchange. Going against the grain set by the market, the Courtin-Clarins brothers decided to go with a long-term vision. The group’s spirit of independence and sustainability were reaffirmed.
