The key ingredient in N°1 DE CHANEL The red camellia, source of youth for the skin.

Red camellias can live for up to 200 years

, defying time itself with their extraordinary longevity. After 19 years of studying this emblematic flower, CHANEL Research was able to draw out from within its petals an active ingredient with revitalising and antioxidant properties, to help preserve the skin's youth.

A feat of science

Nineteen years of research focused on the red camellia, carried out at the CHANEL open-sky laboratory in Gaujacq, have revealed its youth-preserving properties.

  • STEP 1Cold fragmentation

    The red camellia's petals are carefully separated from the other parts of the flower.

  • Step 2Petal hydrofusion

    The petals' antioxidant and revitalising properties are released through a process of hydrofusion.

  • STEP 3Purification

    During the purification step, the solution is filtered, leaving only its essence: red camellia extract.

Youth is a science

Selected by CHANEL Research, red camellia extract is a powerful active ingredient that works at the very heart of the skin.
