Hydra-Essentiel
To observe Nature and take inspiration from it is one of the secrets of Clarins’ Research. A plant found in Madagascar in particular has captured the attention of Clarins’ Laboratories: the leaf of life and its succulent leaves, which retain water despite extreme temperature changes.
Kalanchoe, or “Organic leaf of life”, is a plant that is essential for life, just like water is essential for beautiful skin.
By helping the skin to restore its various water reservoirs by itself, organic leaf of life extract encourages skin’s perfect hydration.

Continuing education
The production process of organic leaf of life – its planting, maintenance, harvesting, and leaf drying – is carried out by the local communities of Madirobe and Marovato in north-eastern Madagascar, in partnership with Jardins du Monde. 51 people are involved in the harvesting and the association has already provided healthcare training and supported the creation of educational medicinal plant gardens in these villages.

A long-standing partnership
Present in Madagascar since 2003, Jardins du Monde preserves and restores the use of medicinal plants in populations who do not have access to conventional medicine. Clarins, which has been working together with Jardins du Monde’s founder, ethnobotanist Jean-Pierre Nicolas, for 10 years, has entrusted the association with the supply management of organic and fair trade leaf of life extract.
