The CLR Philosophy

At CLR, it is our mission to supply the cosmetics industry with active ingredients that truly make a difference. We continue to design high quality products in absolute compliance with worldwide regulatory requirements. Being privately owned and independent, we are flexible and always close to our customers.

The product, its relevance for both our customers and the consumer are central in everything we do.

To sustainably provide our customers with the best service and quality, we have brought together R&D, production, administration and storage areas under one roof. This guarantees us full control over all processes at all times.

Research and development as a basis

Research and development has always been our foundation. Over the past 60 years, CLR has enriched beauty and personal care with many innovative actives and pioneering concepts.

We ensure that our active ingredients contribute to products that are not only good for the consumer, but also for our planet. The responsible use of natural resources is an essential constituent of our activities. Since the 1970s, the core of our expertise lies in extraction from sustainably obtained plant-derived materials, nature-inspired technologies, and superior fermentation techniques.
