Beauty Ahead of Time

Nature’s intelligence is insurpassable. This intelligence has influenced the Chanel vision of skincare and is also what led to the creation of a new generation of holistic beauty products, including skincare, makeup and a fragrance mist: No1 de Chanel.

At the heart of this new anti-aging skincare line is the red camellia extract and its unique revitalising power. The red camellia is one of the few flowers in the world whose extraordinary energy gives it perennial youth. It's resilience led Chanel research to make a remarkable discovery: the unique action of the red camellia which acts on the No1 stage of skin aging preventing and correcting the appearance of the 5 signs of aging. All of nature’s energy in a flower, infused in a new Chanel skincare line.


Chanel No1 De Chanel Launch at Keyes Art Mile

I was fortunate enough to have been invited to the launch of N°1 DE CHANEL at Keyes Art Mile in South Africa and what a special experience it was. We met with the team of experts and learnt about the sustainability behind the new skincare range as well as the magic behind the camellia flower. It was an insightful afternoon testing out all the cleansers, lotions, creams, serums, mists as well as foundation and cheek and lip balms.

We can’t predict the future, but we can prepare for it. N°1 DE CHANEL is an anti-aging beauty line that aims to minimise its impact on the environment. The formulas contain up to 97% naturally derived ingredients and up to 76% camellia-derived ingredients: extracts, oil, water and yeast extract. They have been tested on all skin types including sensitive skin, and were developed with nature in mind.
