Famille C Participations is the Courtin family’s investment firm and a Paris-based multi-family office. The firm invests in the beauty and well-being sectors and holds stakes across several categories, including direct equity positions; it acquired a majority stake in British brand Pai Skincare in April 2023. The organisation operates alongside related vehicle Famille C Venture, a France-based private equity/corporate venture arm affiliated with the Courtin-Clarins family. Public profiles list the firm as established in 2018 and headquartered in Paris. Famille C Participations takes majority and substantive minority positions in consumer beauty businesses rather than running public or listed real-estate vehicles. The firm’s distinguishing feature is its position as family-backed capital tied to the Clarins-owning Courtin family, providing long-term, strategic ownership to consumer-focused beauty and wellbeing companies.
