Clarins and Fondation Arthritis: a special connection

A special connection

In 1989, Jacques Courtin-Clarins establishes the Association for Polyarthritis Research.

Dr. Olivier Courtin-Clarins

In 2006, the Association for Polyarthritis Research becomes Fondation Arthritis

A FAMILY COMMITMENT

Every year since 2012, Claire, Jenna, Prisca and Virginie Courtin-Clarins have paid tribute to their grandmother by supporting and featuring the products benefiting the Fondation.

More than €100,000 has been raised since 2012!

THE MIRIAD PROJECT

In 2016, Clarins begins supporting the MIRIAD project sponsored by Prof. Maxime Bréban from Hopital Ambroise-Paré Paris (France).

*MIRIAD stands for Microbiome Research Initiative on Spondyloarthritis and Dysbiosis.

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.

In 2017, this commitment was enriched even further, as it was co-funded and/or promoted by all of the Clarins group subsidiaries.

PRESSING ON IN 2018!

For every Tonic Body Treatment Oil sold, Clarins will make a donation to help fund the MIRIAD project. The goal is to raise as much funding as possible to allow the teams to continue their research in hopes of finding treatments that ease the suffering of rheumatic diseases, which affect more than 100 million people in Europe.

2019: 30 YEARS OF PARTNERING TOGETHER!

In 2019, Clarins is proudly celebrating 30 years of partnership with Fondation Arthritis.

2020: The CURE-RA
Project

Clarins is proud to support the CURE-RA project over the next three years.

As an ambitious new research initiative, the CURE-RA project is working to develop a new treatment to target the causes of rheumatoid arthritis, with the goal of improving the chances of long-term remission and, ultimately, finding a cure.
