ACTIVE INGREDIENTS

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.

HOW TO USE

Apply the N°1 DE CHANEL cream to the face and neck every morning and evening, after applying the serum. Lightly tap the skin with your fingertips for a longer-lasting youthful glow.
Using the palms of your hands, gently smooth from the jawline up to the ears, from the sides of the nose to the ears, from the centre of the forehead to the temples and, finally, from the ears down to the neck.
