Clarins Soothing After Sun Balm

Clarins Soothing After Sun Balm is a premium skincare product designed for both face and body to hydrate and repair skin after sun exposure. The brand was founded in Paris, France, in 1954 by Jacques Courtin-Clarins, who initially opened a beauty institute before expanding into plant-based product development.

Manufacturing remains deeply rooted in France. Nearly all Clarins skincare products are formulated and produced at the company's major facility in Pontoise, north of Paris, and a second production site was established in Troyes to double production capacity by 2024. The brand is well-known for its 'Made in France' heritage and its commitment to using natural, plant-based ingredients.

Clarins is a privately held, family-owned company. While it was once listed on the Paris Stock Exchange, the Courtin-Clarins family took the company private in 2008 to ensure long-term independence. Today, the brand is managed by the second and third generations of the founding family through their holding company, Famille C, maintaining a legacy of sustainable and responsible beauty.
