Is it Clērstory, Cler Story, Clerestory, or Clear Story?

A quick note on how to say (and spell) our name.

If you landed here wondering whether it’s Cler Story, Clerestory, or Clear Story, you’re in the right place.

We get it: our name sounds just like “clear story,” and it even shares roots with the word “clerestory.” So here’s the breakdown.

So, what is Cler story?

Clērstory (pronounced clear story) is an indie skincare brand founded by a mom of two with a background in biology, built for everyday simplicity and ease. We created Clērstory to cut through the noise of complicated routines and extra steps, offering formulas that are gentle, effective, and plant-based.

We chose the name Clērstory because it speaks to transparency, light, and clarity: all things we want to emphasize in our skincare.

Why do people confuse it with “clerestory”?

Totally fair question! Clerestory is actually an architectural term referring to upper windows that bring light into a space. We love the symbolism behind the word, but just like everyone's skin story is unique, we spell the word a little differently.

Google sometimes autocorrects “Clērstory” to “clerestory,” “cler story,” or "clear story" and since they’re pronounced the same, it can cause confusion.

But rest assured: when you’re looking for gentle, nourishing skincare that fit your life, you’re looking for Clērstory.
