Chanel skin care SUBLIMAGE

In 1927, Gabrielle Chanel created her very first skincare line to preserve and maintain the skin’s natural beauty. As someone who believed that fashion could free minds, she considered it just as essential to free oneself from the passage of time, in order to think of style as a whole: from clothing to perfume, and from accessories to skincare.

This was the beginning of a holistic skincare philosophy and a vision of femininity based on living a healthy lifestyle, understanding one’s body, and having self-confidence. In 1929, Mademoiselle Chanel introduced body care into women’s beauty routines in order to ease physical and mental tension.

In her eyes, one could not be truly radiant without first experiencing fulfillment and inner well-being. This avant-garde vision enables every woman to transcend time, and to do so with style.

SUBLIMAGE, the quintessence of CHANEL Research’s expertise, has embodied this holistic view of both women and skincare since its creation in 2006. Enriched with powerful active ingredients derived from Vanilla Planifolia, each skincare product in the line is meticulously crafted, for a unique sensory experience.

For the first time, SUBLIMAGE La Crème Corps et Décolleté extends the SUBLIMAGE experience to the body.

SUBLIMAGE LA CRÈME CORPS ET DÉCOLLETÉ

AWAKENING THE SENSES

Today, SUBLIMAGE unveils a new sensory experience that goes hand in hand with massage, a body cream whose texture transforms when applied to the skin: SUBLIMAGE La Crème Corps et Décolleté. Rich and enveloping to the touch, it delivers a surprising, regenerative feeling of freshness on contact. This fresh, velvety veil quickly absorbs into the skin, leaving it feeling deeply nourished and perfectly comfortable.

CHANEL Research has successfully reconciled lightness with richness and freshness with comfort, all in a single formula.

This fresh emulsion contains a high concentration of natural butters and oils, encapsulated in imperceptible droplets. Micropearls instantly brighten the skin, adding a finishing touch of sophistication.

THE BOTANICAL JEWEL

It all began in 1995 when, after closely studying Vanilla Planifolia, CHANEL researchers discovered its incredible active molecules and their exceptional anti-aging properties.

CHANEL’s first open- sky laboratory was established in 2002 on the island of Madagascar. This center for cultivation, development and botanical experimentation made it possible to reveal the power of Vanilla Planifolia as an active ingredient and to extract the plant’s precious molecules, all for the benefit of SUBLIMAGE beauty products. Enriched with Vanilla Planifolia extracts, SUBLIMAGE La Crème Corps et Décolleté provides the skin with comprehensive anti-aging care.

At the heart of this exceptional treatment that sublimates the body, Intense Vanilla Water is known to preserve the quality of collagen and elastin fibers. It is associated with Vanilla Enfleurage Oil, which has antioxidant properties.

THE REGENERATING TECHNIQUE

This new SUBLIMAGE ritual places more importance than ever on self-care, the invaluable time that we set aside for ourselves and that does so much more than enhance our skin. Looking after your body while giving yourself some time to just let it all go: such is the goal of the application technique developed by CHANEL for SUBLIMAGE La Crème Corps et Décolleté.

Apply the cream to perfectly clean, dry skin every morning to provide nourishment and protection, and use it every evening to experience its comforting, regenerating effect.

1. To maximize the penetration of the active ingredients, use your thumb and index finger to perform a series of deep, invigorating pinching movements on any areas of the body lacking in firmness.

2. Warm up the product in your hands and apply the cream to the neck, décolleté and chest.

3. Then, move to other parts of the body, including the stomach, hips and buttocks, rubbing in a circular motion. Massage the legs and feet using smooth upward strokes, then perform the same movements on the arms, paying special attention to the elbows. Finish

by massaging your hands.

1. Prolong this moment of total relaxation by applying light pressure to the driest areas of

your body with the palms of your hands, which will help to comfort the skin.

1. VISIBLE, LASTING RESULTS

SUBLIMAGE La Crème Corps et Décolleté comforts and visibly enhances the skin’s appearance. It immediately increases hydration (+65%) and gradually improves comfort over time (+43%). The skin appears visibly rejuvenated and youthful. Deeply nourished and moisturized, it is left looking supple, toned, soft and radiant. It glows with beauty.

To prolong this highly sensorial experience, in 2021, the iconic SUBLIMAGE La Crème will be available in a new form: SUBLIMAGE Le Baume.

SUBLIMAGE LE BAUME FROM FLOWER TO FRUIT

CHANEL Research has acquired unique expertise in both the cultivation of Vanilla Planifolia and the extraction of its active molecules. They have identified molecules with unique, beneficial properties for the skin at every stage of Vanilla Planifolia’s life cycle. Informed by an extended period of research, observation, and experimentation, CHANEL Research has developed exclusive active ingredients that enhance the appearance of women’s skin.

FROM OCTOBER TO NOVEMBER: THE FLOWERS BLOOM

Obtained from the fresh flowers, the Flower Extract is combined with Enfleurage Oil, which is created by steeping dried flowers in a bath of plant-based oil. Together, they protect skin from oxidative stress in the long term.

IN MAY: THE IMMATURE FRUIT FORMS

The Éphémères, which are obtained from the immature fruit via chrono-extraction*, boost skin regeneration.

FROM JUNE TO AUGUST: THE FRUIT MATURES

Intense Vanilla Water, obtained from the mature fruit through hydrodistillation, combats free radicals and prevents the degradation of collagen and elastin fibers.
Planifolia PFA, which is obtained from the ripe fruit via polyfractioning**, stimulates regeneration.

At the heart of this exceptional formula, this combination of active ingredients targets all signs of aging.

A delicate process developed by CHANEL Research and perfectly adapted for fragile molecules.
PolyFractioning of Active Ingredients. A specific process developed by CHANEL that allows for the creation of ultra-pure

cosmetic ingredients.
