The power of plants

A bush native to the tropical regions of America, senna thrives in full sunlight, producing clusters of bright yellow flowers. The leaves are well-known in traditional medicine for effective treatment of various skin ailments.

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 the health of the soil. Senna is an organically-certified plant and the extract we use in our products is obtained using a natural and environmentally-friendly method. Because our commitment to responsible agriculture concerns both plants and the people who grow them, since 2016, through its senna supply chain, Clarins has contributed to development projects in Burkina Faso, in partnership with Jardins du Monde. Nearly 8500 people benefit from an agricultural development grant. Clarins also contributes to equipping health centres and participates in an extensive programme aimed at reforestation and the protection of endangered areas.
