CAN WEB3 BE PRECIOUS?

Clarins was inspired by the potential of Web3—the internet's next generation.

For Clarins Precious - AS RARE ARE YOU, we wanted to embrace the chance to celebrate female creatives working at the frontier of Web3, so we partnered with two world-leading digital artists to develop our debut NFT collection. Comprising 325 artworks and an AR filter influenced by our new, luxurious Clarins Precious range, the collection embraces the poetry of paradox—science and nature; stillness and motion.

Each NFT features unique animation. Four ultra-rare NFTs offer especial value, with exclusive rewards for holders.

"I hope that the Clarins Precious project will inspirea lot of female artists to bring warmth and empathy to Web3."

— Ada Sokół

THE ARTISTS

We have collaborated with two outstanding digital artists to share the story of our newest skin care range—and a remarkable flower, which blooms just once a year, behind its products.

Inspired by the innovation behind Clarins Precious, and created by artist Ada Sokół, our debut NFT collection comprises a series of stunning artworks that transform over time. We are also thrilled to launch the AS RARE AS YOU filter for Instagram, a personalized AR experience that marries nature and technology to generate ethereal effects that gesture to the rarity and radiance of the range. The filter has been developed by an internationally-recognized digital artist who started experimenting with 3D while digging the beauty, fashion, and luxury industries as an art director.

ADA SOKÓŁ

Ada Sokół is a 3D artist and designer celebrated for her surrealistic, sensual works. Her distinctive signature style weaves together elements of futurism, fantasy, and photorealism, yielding immersive experiences at the intersection of nature and technology. Given Clarins's emphasis on science-backed skin care, inspired by the beauty and power of plants, Sokół's practice instantly struck a chord with us.

INES ALPHA

Paris-born Ines Alpha is an internationally renowned digital artist. Using 3D software and augmented reality to combine makeup and technology, Alpha creates ethereal, futuristic narratives that merge the virtual with the real. Her desire to "explore self-empowerment in the internet age" makes her a natural creative partner for Clarins.

AS RARE AS YOU

Created exclusively for Clarins Precious, AS RARE AS YOU conjures unique AR makeup with every use, creating an otherworldly, three-dimensional self-portrait.

Effects are generated at random, meaning the filter will never be experienced in exactly the same way. Like the Moonflower, which blooms just once a year, AS RARE AS YOU expresses something scarce and precious—for an hour each day, users can experience the filter's ultra-rare moonlight version.

Designed for use solely with Instagram.

"It's exciting to see such a well renowned brandcollaborating with female artists in the digital field."

THE CLARINS PRECIOUS PATH

CLARINS PRECIOUS

Clarins Precious is our newest premium skin care offering – a luxurious range developed to stimulate the skin’s own youthful resources. These innovative products are the triumphant result of years of research by our laboratories, who identified the best active ingredient to stimulate skin’s longevity protein called FOXO. The longevity protein neutralizes the effects of time by controlling and activating the skin’s defense mechanisms.

This exceptional youth promoting ingredient, blooming only one night a year, is the Moonlight Flower. The result of cutting-edge technology processed at -196°C, the Moonlight flower cryoextract has the power to reactivate longevity protein, FOXO.
