The power of plants
A grand dame of phytotherapy, yellow gentian has been known since Antiquity for its many curative benefits. This robust plant grows in wide open spaces – it can reach a height of 2 m – and thrives in pastures. It has a surprising longevity of half a century. Over the course of its long life, it develops solid roots and reserves of key ingredients which help fight digestive issues and other dysfunctions.
Skincare benefits of Organic golden gentian extract
In cosmetics, organic yellow gentian has demonstrated a soothing effect on epidermal cells which helps soften the skin.
Responsible sourcing
Our organic golden gentian is hand-picked in France in accordance with good practices for the harvesting of wild plants. It grows at our Domaines among other plants. Nestled at the heart of the Alps at an altitude of 1400 metres, Domaine Clarins Serraval is an open-air laboratory and an exceptional source of organic raw materials. We have grown our own ingredients here since 2016, as the seasons unfold. This unique establishment prides itself on respecting the fauna and flora: its regenerative agriculture method (in full compliance with natural habitats and growing cycles, natural inputs, etc.) strengthens soils and biodiversity. Domaine Clarins Serraval reflects the commitment of the Clarins team in charge of the establishment, which works closely with local agricultural partners, all of whom share the same passion for the land and their work.
