Convinced of its outstanding potential, Guerlain has set up its first ever research center entirely devoted to a single ingredient: the Orchidarium®. The mission of this International Research Center devoted to the orchid and skin longevity is to discover, understand, study and explore the potential of orchids and their biological and cosmetic properties to benefit its research on skin longevity. Guerlain Research runs three interrelated and complementary centers: The Experimental Garden — Geneva (Switzerland), a greenhouse where a collection of Guerlain orchids is housed in order to study and identify the most remarkable species; The Basic Research Laboratory — Strasbourg (France), the first basic research unit dedicated to the study of orchids and the identification and analysis of longevity molecules; The Exploratory Nature Reserve — TianZi (Yunnan, China), a nature reserve and pillar of biodiversity and conservation where wild orchids are protected and reintroduced into their natural environment.
