Ingredients

15 YEARS OF RESEARCH ON THE ORCHID AND CELLULAR LONGEVITY
The orchid, a rare and precious raw ingredient, is the very essence of the exceptional complete care range Orchidée Impériale. A genuine longevity prodigy, the orchid is the most developed species in the plant kingdom. Convinced of its outstanding potential, Guerlain has set up its first ever research centre ever to be devoted to a single ingredient: the Orchidarium®.
This unique research centre revealed the extraordinary powers of a duo of orchids – including Gastrodia elata, an orchid essential to traditional Chinese medicine -, selected from among more than 30,000 species, forming the core of the latest Cell Respiration™ Technology in the Orchidée Impériale The Cream.
For 10 years, Guerlain has been committed to the preservation of orchids in their natural environment. 10,000 orchids have been reintroduced in the Tianzi Nature Reserve in Yunnan, China, one of the world's original birthplaces of orchids.
The Foundation Concentrate is composed of 72,5% of naturally derived ingredients*.
*Based on ISO standard 16128, including water. The remaining 27,5% contribute to optimizing the formula’s integrity over time and its sensorial texture.

CELL RESPIRATION™ TECHNOLOGY

Thanks to a powerful age-defying duo of orchids, the Cell Respiration™ Technology helps regulate cellular respiration, fight oxygen deficiency and improve cell regeneration¹. ¹In vitro test on ingredients

ORCHID NOBLE LIGHT™ TECHNOLOGY

THE WATER LOCK TECHNOLOGY

Formulated using 3D polymers, the Water Lock Technology forms a mesh on the skin's surface to gradually deliver moisturising ingredients, allowing it to remain intensely hydrated and luminous.

THE COLOUR LOCK TECHNOLOGY

Immediately after applying the Foundation Concentrate, skin appears lastingly more beautiful. The Colour Lock Technology features a dual combination of polymers that prevent pigments from bleeding into wrinkles and fine lines. Simply spectacular, this technology helps maintain a natural, even complexion.
