Clarins and Fondation Arthritis: A Special Connection
At the heart of Fondation Arthritis is a love story. Disheartened by the suffering his wife endured due to rheumatoid polyarthritis, Clarins Founder Jacques Courtin-Clarins established the Association for Polyarthritis Research in 1989. In the 1990s, his energy and faith made a profound impact on the research being conducted in the field of chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases.

2017
SECOND YEAR OF SUPPORTING THE MIRIAD PROJECT.
More than €250,000 is raised through the sales of Tonic Body Treatment Oil in 2016 and through the Clarins group.

PRESSING ON IN 2018!
For every Tonic Body Treatment Oil sold, Clarins will make a donation to help fund the MIRIAD project.

2020
2020: The CURE-RA
Project
Over the next three years, Clarins is proud to support the CURE-RA project. An ambitious new research initiative, the CURE-RA project is working to develop a new treatment for the causes of rheumatoid arthritis, with the goal of improving the chances of long-term remission and, ultimately, finding a cure.
In the words of Dr. Olivier Courtin-Clarins
Arthritis a disease
that’s as old as the world…
but, over the past 40 years, these degenerative auto-immune diseases are being diagnosed more effectively. Some appear in childhood, some during the teen years and others in adulthood. They develop as the years go by and get worse, eroding joints and eroding one’s ability to find relief, well-being and peace with one’s body.”
Tonic Body Treatment Oil: An Iconic And Charitable Product
A legacy reflecting over 65 years of Institute expertise
1954
The first Clarins Beauty Institute opens on Rue Tronchet in Paris’ 8th arrondissement.
1965
Clarins Treatment Oils are launched. They were commercialised at the request of customers who wished to incorporate the benefits of these pure plant oils into their beauty routines at home.
Field MintEvery year, with each purchase of Tonic Body Treatment Oil, Clarins will make a donation to Fondation Arthritis to support research programs for inflammatory rheumatic diseases.
*This oil is a cosmetic product. It does not have any therapeutic action nor is it a treatment for arthritis.
You too can support research with your Tonic Body Treatment Oil purchase!
100% of every donation will go to the fight against rheumatoid arthritis.
