N°1 DE CHANEL BEAUTY AHEAD OF TIME

Nature's intelligence is unsurpassable and has influenced the CHANEL vision of skincare since the very beginning. Its intelligence is also what led to the creation of a new generation of beauty products, N°1 DE CHANEL, which features skincare, makeup, and a fragrance mist. At the heart of this new holistic, eco-responsible, anti-ageing beauty line is red camellia extract and its unique revitalising power.

At the heart of the N°1 DE CHANEL line is red camellia extract, which increases cellular vitality by +67%¹.

In 2012, CHANEL initiated a robust research program devoted to the study of the skin's ageing mechanism in collaboration with Prof. Grillari, a global expert in the field from the University of Vienna.

Researchers from the House of CHANEL conducted extensive testing in order to find the most powerful anti-ageing active ingredients, studying 6,000 women's faces from all over the world and using 2D and 3D reconstructed skin models to map the signs of ageing, until they discovered the effectiveness of red camellia extract on stage N°1 of the skin ageing process. When cells are treated with red camellia extract, their vitality increases by 67%¹.

Infused with this extract, the N°1 DE CHANEL line prevents and corrects the appearance of the 5 signs of ageing. Day after day, wrinkles appear diminished, pores are visibly refined, and the skin's elasticity is restored. It feels more comfortable and glows with vitality.

In its research center in Pantin, CHANEL Research has studied the faces of more than 6,000 women selected from all over the world. These studies aim to gain a better understanding of skin ageing and the appearance of the 5 signs of ageing.

To address the skin's ageing mechanism, CHANEL Research has selected powerful red camellia extract, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and pores and improves skin's elasticity, radiance, and comfort.

From the outset, various influences have shaped the way CHANEL approaches beauty. One such influence was Gabrielle Chanel's holistic vision: there is no duality between the mind and the senses, no distinction between reason and sensibility, no separation of body from emotions nor of a being from its environment. A vision of beauty that now shines through in the N°1 DE CHANEL routine, complete with skincare, makeup, and a fragrance mist.

N°1 DE CHANEL is an environmentally conscious beauty line. Formulas contain up to 97% naturally derived ingredients¹ and up to 76% camellia-derived ingredients. They are suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and are housed in eco-designed packaging to optimise carbon footprint.
