"As my father (Jacques Courtin, founder of Clarins) used to say, ‘For a woman, to be attractive is to be alive'. At Clarins, women are our priority, and we strive to make each and every woman feel most attractive, especially when she is expecting a child. These are the most beautiful days of her life. We are thrilled and honored to partner on this Better Birth event that combines the importance of feeling beautiful with the incredible beauty of childbirth."


-Christian Courtin-Clarins
