Clarins Seeds of Beauty

PRESERVE BIODIVERSITY.

The partnership between PUR and Clarins was formed following a meeting between two visionaries who are both passionate about nature: Christian Courtin-Clarins and Tristan Lecomte. Seeds of Beauty is one of the projects rolled out by Clarins which aims to preserve biodiversity in cooperation with local communities who will benefit from the projects.

Clarins supports
MANGROVE REFORESTATION PROJECTS

In order to restore biodiversity in Southern Thailand by helping

Did you know ?

Mangroves are...

...home to a very rich flora and fauna and a habitat for many species, some of which are endangered.

...a source of security, livelihood and well-being to coastal communities. Because of its richeness in a vairety of seafood, wood, textile fibres and medicinal plants.

...a shield against the effects of global warming because they are capable of storing a large quantity of atmospheric carbon.

...one of the most productive ecosystem in the world.

Indonesia, the hub of our commitment

Since 2016, Clarins has been providing support for local projects in several regions in the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. Our goal? To improve and preserve the quality of land, reduce erosion, and increase and diversify the producers' income. A genuinely virtuous circle wherein we are all key players who collaborate with each other: You, PUR and Clarins.

Maksyarin and Sulaini watering the plants

WOMEN SPEAK

Maksyarin (36) - wearing brown clothes - and Sulaini (37) - wearing yellow clothes - are two sisters living a few km outside Takengon

Both work on their family’s farm which spans several hectares, cultivating coffee, durian, jack fruit, oranges and cacao. They normally clean and pick coffee. The farm also has a nursery for coffee plants (shown in the pictures). There, the family grows plants twice a year then distributes them to other farmers in the area. At the moment they have 16,000 4-month-old plants (they will be ready in December). Maksyarin has three kids and Sulaini five.
