the story of clarté laboratoire: expertise and innovation
-1248.webp)
From Eye Health to Eye Beauty
Clarté Laboratoire was born from the ophthalmological expertise of Horus Pharma, a pioneering family-owned laboratory in preservative-free eye care.
Adrien Claret, Doctor of Pharmacy, Strategic Projects Director at Horus Pharma, and founder of Clarté Laboratoire, began his career in the pharmaceutical industry working on clinical trials, particularly in aesthetics (fillers, implants, etc.).
After gaining experience in areas ranging from drug registration to business development, he turned his focus in 2019 to Horus Pharma’s medical devices for eyelid care and discovered their extraordinary benefits for hydration and healing.
Clarté is an innovative and transparent brand striving to adapt eye care expertise to facial skincare.

We are not born allergic—we become allergic!
Despite carefully choosing “high-quality cosmetics,” more and more of us* find ourselves unable to tolerate the products we once used daily.
This is the result of repeated skin exposure to controversial or seemingly harmless ingredients that form the basis of traditional cosmetics: texture agents, colorants, fragrances, and preservatives.
A groundbreaking approach inspired by ophthalmological research
Clarté Laboratoire is a one-of-a-kind brand in the cosmetic market, applying the stringent standards of ophthalmology to eye care formulations. Its unconventional approach relies on manufacturing processes that are radically different from traditional cosmetic standards.

The cosmetics market is saturated with products that base their appeal solely on the “magical ingredient” expected to deliver results.
Clarté Laboratoire’s philosophy is different. It revolves around a comprehensive set of innovations, addressing every aspect of the product—from the purity of ingredients to sterilization, packaging, and ingredient interactions.
The result is ultra-short formulas concentrated with high-quality active ingredients. This simplification is a feat of great complexity.
