Ingredients
Water may constitute one of the phases of an emulsion (to help alter its texture), but it can also be used as a solvent to dissolve or dilute certain ingredients. It may be added to a formula during the production stage, or it may already be present in certain raw materials used in the formula. The water we use is sourced near our production sites and is then purified in order to obtain a level of purity and quality that is consistent with current regulatory requirements.

product information
PRODUCT
LA MOUSSE features a creamy texture that transforms into a generous, cushiony foam upon contact with water, for a thorough deep cleanse without compromising or stripping skin. Enriched with camellia ceramides, it removes impurities such as pollution particles, sebum, sunscreen and traces of makeup.
Immediately, skin feels 45%* fresher and 32%* more hydrated. Barrier function is preserved for up to 24 hours**, supporting improved moisture retention. Skin’s microbiome is preserved. After 7 days, the complexion looks smoother and texture appears refined, and after 4 weeks, efficacy doubles***. Skin feels 56%**** more comfortable.
Cleansing is an essential step to optimally prepare skin and complement the benefits of your routine. The CHANEL Cleansing Collection offers a range of highly effective ultra-sensorial formulas that are easy to apply and suitable for all skin types.
KEY INGREDIENTS
Composed of up to 91%***** naturally derived ingredients, LA MOUSSE is infused with the House’s emblematic flower, the camellia.
Camellia ceramides help strengthen skin’s barrier and lock in hydration.
Obtained from frozen Gaujacq camellia petals through hydrodistillation, camellia water leaves skin with a sensation of freshness.
HOW TO APPLY
Apply LA MOUSSE every morning and evening.
CHANEL has developed LE GESTE ULTRA MOUSSE, a signature technique designed to maximize the density of the foam and enhance the application experience. Dispense a small amount into your palm, add water and work into a lather by rubbing your hands together. Breathe deeply and apply to the entire face. Perform small circular movements with your fingertips, working outward. Using your palms, make wide, enveloping circular movements on the cheeks, forehead and chin. Rinse and gently pat skin dry with a clean towel.
Follow with HYDRA BEAUTY MICRO SÉRUM for an energized, glowing complexion.
Caution: Avoid contact with the eye area. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately. Do not store at extreme temperatures.

I have been using la mousse for years. How is this new one different from the old?
BEST ANSWER: The new version of LA MOUSSE retains its ultra-dense texture but now features a more natural formula with camellia-derived ingredients. Anti-pollution action enhanced with camellia ceramides and camellia water. Provides “friction-free” cleansing, creating a cloud of foam for optimal efficacy and purifies the skin by eliminating pollution particles, makeup traces, sunscreen, and sebum.
