The power of plants
Its popular name of “Venus’ Basin” quite clearly illustrates the beneficial role of the Teasel plant. The rainwater and dew that collects in the hollow of its curved leaves is a source of drinking water for birds and in earlier days, women would collect this “heavenly water” before sunrise as it was believed it could fade freckles and enhance their beauty.
Skincare benefits of Teasel extract
In cosmetics, Teasel extract (organic plant) is an antioxidant and helps to energize skin.

Protecting the soil and biodiversity is a longstanding commitment at Clarins. That’s why we have always given priority to plant-based active ingredients sourced from organic agriculture, grown using sustainable farming methods that respect nature and the health of the soil. Teasel is an organically certified plant and the extract we use in our products is obtained using a natural and environmentally friendly method.
