Clarins Domaine of Serraval Achieves Historic ROC™ Certification: A Global First in Cosmetics

In a groundbreaking move toward regenerative and responsible agriculture, Clarins is proud to announce that its Domaine de Serraval has obtained the prestigious Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC™) certification. This achievement marks a historic first in the cosmetics industry, as Clarins becomes the first cosmetics brand in the world to receive this rigorous certification. 

What is Regenerative Organic Certified®? 

Regenerative Organic Certified® is an agricultural certification for food, fiber, and wellness ingredients. Based on three pillars, it requires farmers to go above and beyond by practicing agricultural techniques that ensure healthy soil, the ethical and human treatment of animals, and fairness for farmers & workers.  

Clarins: leading the way in regenerative agriculture 

For Clarins, this certification represents a significant step forward in its commitment to regenerative agriculture and environmental responsibility. It reflects the brand’s ongoing efforts to integrate ethical practices into every aspect of its operations, from plant cultivation to product formulation.  

Clarins Domaine of Serraval: A commitment to regenerative and sustainable agriculture 

The Clarins Domaine of Serraval, located in the heart of the French Alps, spans nearly 1 hectare of land dedicated to the cultivation of plants used in Clarins products. With the full area and all plants now certified ROC™, Clarins is setting a new benchmark in the beauty industry for sustainable and regenerative farming practices.  

This certification ensures that every product derived from these plants contributes to a positive impact on the environment, society, and local communities. 

 Looking ahead: A pioneering commitment to sustainable progress 

While this achievement represents a historic milestone, Clarins’ dedication to sustainability continues to evolve. The brand is actively pursuing plans to extend the certification to the Clarins Domaine of Sainte-Colombe. 

This milestone reflects Clarins’ dedication to pioneering responsible engagement within the cosmetics industry, demonstrating that it is possible to combine excellence, innovation, and a deep respect for nature—values that have been at the heart of Clarins for over 70 years.
