DESCRIPTION
The N°1 DE CHANEL line preserves the skin's youth by harnessing one flower's extraordinary capacity for longevity: the red camellia(1). An achievement accomplished by CHANEL Research, which has spent more than 10 years studying this iconic flower and the mechanisms responsible for skin's youth.
The N°1 DE CHANEL cream preserves the skin's youth: skin appears plump and smooth, with improved elasticity. The gel-cream formula features a smooth, lightweight texture, offering easy application. It is formulated with powerful ingredients selected by CHANEL experts, which work at the very heart of the skin:
Red camellia extract reinvigorates the skin and helps to protect it from oxidative stress.
An oligopeptide revives the youthful appearance of the skin.
A camellia ceramide strengthens skin. The N°1 DE CHANEL cream provides a comprehensive effect on the signs of youth, addressing wrinkles, pores, elasticity and radiance. Its refillable packaging is designed for repeated use.
(1) Camellia japonica.

Red camellia is the key ingredient in N°1 DE CHANEL. This plant can live for up to 200 years(1), defying time itself with its extraordinary longevity. After 19 years of studying camellias, CHANEL Research has brought to light the extraordinary power of red camellia extract, obtained using a three-step extraction process: the petals first undergo cold fragmentation, and their antioxidant properties are then released through hydrofusion. Finally, the resulting solution is purified. Red camellia extract, which has a high concentration of protocatechuic acid, reinvigorates the skin and protects it from oxidative stress to preserve its youth. The N°1 DE CHANEL cream reflects a comprehensive, camellia-centric approach to formulation. The cream is composed of 67% ingredients derived from the camellia, which is showcased in all its forms - extract, ceramide, oil, yeast and water. Camellia husks, a by-product of camellia oil production, make up 10% of the materials used in the lid of the jar. N°1 DE CHANEL is an environmentally conscious beauty line. The cream is housed in refillable packaging, and some of its components are recyclable(3). The jar is made with lighter glass(4) and its lid is composed of more than 85% bio-based materials, including camellia seed husks and wood by-products sourced from FSC-certified supply networks. It is cellophane-free, does not come with a leaflet and features organic ink(5). The cream is formulated with 97%(6) naturally derived ingredients. (1) Camellia japonica. (2) Enzymatic activity test on in vitro human skin model treated with red camellia extract. (3) Recyclability is dependent on sorting and recycling methods, which vary by location. (4) Reduction in glass weight compared to the average weight of CHANEL cream jars of similar capacity. (5) Obtained through organic chemistry. (6) According to ISO 16128.
