Is Clarins Cruelty-Free And Vegan?
1min read
Clarins specialises in luxury skincare, but is it also a cruelty-free and vegan brand? Read on for the full lowdown.
About Clarins
Clarins is a French skincare and perfume company founded in 1954 by medical student Jacques Courtin-Clarins, becoming a family business. It began with a small range of plant-based skin products but has since grown to include a range of serums, creams and toners.
Is Clarins cruelty-free?
No, Clarins is not cruelty-free. This is because Clarins is sold in China, where it is required by law to test on animals for any cosmetic products being sold in the country. As a result, it can’t be considered truly cruelty-free.
Is Clarins vegan?
No, Clarins is not a vegan brand, as some products contain lanolin and carmine, which are derived from animals. Clarins does have a range of products called My Clarins, which are marketed as vegan and cruelty-free. However since the rest of the brand is not vegan or cruelty-free, it is up to the individual whether they feel comfortable buying from the range, as some people would not consider My Clarins to be truly cruelty-free or vegan.
