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 still retain its capacity to germinate. The coconut tree is one of the oldest known “useful” plants. Just its fruit alone, the coconut, is a very complete food, with its sweet, white, nourishing flesh and delicious, refreshing, slightly milky water.

Responsible sourcing

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