ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
CHANEL Research has developed a unique formula with a high concentration of active ingredients.
Vanilla Planifolia was selected from among more than 117 varieties of the plant, due to the fact it is extraordinarily rich in polyketones. Grown and harvested at the CHANEL open-sky laboratory in Madagascar, it has been honed to create four active fractions infused with its skin-enhancing properties: polyfractioned Vanilla Planifolia, éphémères, enfleurage oil and intense vanilla water.
Himalayan Swertia is an extraordinary plant sourced from a treasure trove of biodiversity in Bhutan, where it has been used for centuries to care for the skin. The product of a local and sustainable partnership with CHANEL Research, it is harvested by hand every three years, which reflects the length of its flowering cycle. It is then transformed through a process specific to CHANEL, resulting in an active ingredient complex that revives the skin: +73% overall tissue revival*.
