Some say that French women are born beautiful. Clarins prefers that women, instead, place their faith in its upscale skin-care products, makeup, and perfume. The company touts ingredients such as herbal and marine extracts and air-pollution-defying complexes in its products, which are sold through department and specialty stores in Asia, Europe, and the US. Clarins targets skin-conscious consumers with its antiwrinkle and firming creams. The company also serves the sweet-smelling fragrance market. Its top scents include Azzaro, as well as par Amour and par Amour toujours. In 2008 the family of the late founder, Jacques Courtin-Clarins, took the company private through its holding company Financière FC.
