Derived from Chanel Beauty’s open-sky laboratories in different parts of the world, the latest additions to the Sublimage collection preserves the resilient powers of ancient plants.
Since the discovery of the vanilla planifolia in 2002, Chanel Beauty has been cracking botanical codes with skincare range, Sublimage. The curative plant native to Madagascar was destined for celebrity status, since its cultivation under an open-sky laboratory led to by Nicola Fuzzati, active ingredients research director, and his team.
By 2006, the planifolia PFA was introduced as Sublimage’s first natural active ingredient. Chanel had tapped the hidden powers and potency of the plant as a whole – from the fruit, leaves and flowers – that would complement a number of botanical extracts used in Sublimage. In 2010, Nicola and his team built an open-sky lab in the South of France to study local herbs as well as native Alpine and Mediterranean plants. That is the beginning of L’Essence Fondamentale and L’Essence Lumière, 2 new powerhouses with the solidago and anthyllis extracts.
