Key actives
- Organic White Horehound Extract: a Clarins signature anti-pollution active — protects the skin from indoor and outdoor pollution.
- Sclareolide (from Clary Sage): a naturally soothing active — calms and relieves skin flare-ups.
- Salicyloyl Phytosphingosine: a skin-soothing active that works alongside Sclareolide.
- Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii): richly nourishes and re-comforts stressed, dry and rough skin.
- Squalane: a beautifully skin-compatible plant lipid that mimics the skin's natural squalene.

Who it's for
Calm-Essentiel Repairing Soothing Balm is for those with sensitive, reactive, irritated, damaged or weather-stressed skin — particularly those who suffer from persistent redness, eczema-prone patches, or skin barrier weakness. Also a sensible pick for post-laser/IPL recovery, post-shave irritation, and after-sun comfort. The minimalist formulation is well-tolerated by the most reactive skin types, including those who struggle with most skincare.
