The power of plants
Jojoba is a small shrub from the desert regions of the Southwestern United States and northern Mexico, nicknamed “desert gold” because of its incredible resistance to heat and drought in these arid regions. An oil extracted from its seeds is used in traditional medicine to heal wounds and moisturize the skin surface.
Clarins’ expertise
In cosmetics, organic jojoba oil is highly prized for its capacity to nourish the skin without leaving any oily feel.
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. Our jojoba oil is organically-certified and obtained using a natural and environmentally-friendly extraction process.
