Guerlain commits to the bee, sentinel of the environment

THE ULTIMATE TALISMAN OF YOUTH

After more than fifteen years’ research, the Orchidarium® and Guerlain Research are revealing Orchidée Impériale Black The Symbioserum, a Guerlain skincare masterpiece. At its heart is encapsulated the power of the Black Orchid¹. Native to Peru, it adapts to its environment to optimize its survival, embodying a talisman against time. It has given rise to BlackImmune™ technology. Overconcentrated² in The Symbioserum, the BlackImmune™ technology is enriched with a symbiotic complex³ that is a first for Guerlain, to help skin to protect itself against ageing.

The Symbioserum is nestled in the heart of a refillable bottle hand-crafted by maison Bernardaud, a french porcelain manufacturer since 1863.

¹Cycnoches cooperi cultivated.
²In the Orchidée Impériale Black range.
³Combination of a prebiotic and a probiotic derivative.

⁴Self-assessment, 104 chinese women, twice-daily application for 1 month’s use.

OVERCONCENTRATED BLACKIMMUNE™ TECHNOLOGY¹

The BlackImmune™ technology is over-concentrated¹ in The Symbioserum and enriched with a symbiotic complex that is a first for Guerlain. Inspired by the symbiosis of orchids with their environment, this combination of a prebiotic and a probiotic derivative is able to strenghten the skin's self-defense capacities by targeting its entire ecosystem to help the skin to protect itself against ageing². Continuously protected, skin can thus devote its resources to its regeneration, for skin that is more beautiful and younger-looking, for longer.

The Symbioserum succeeds in the prowess of conciliating high-efficacy, high-sensorial experience and high-naturalness thanks to its formula composed of 96% ingredients of natural origin³. Enriched with a hint of precious 24-karat gold, it fuses in symbiosis with the skin to infuse it with youth and light.

¹In the Orchidée Impériale Black range.
²In vitro test ingredients.
³In accordance with the ISO 16128 standard, calculation including water.

A RARE, POWERFUL, ENDURING ORCHID

Native to the peruvian Andes, the Black Orchid¹ is an ebony-coloured wild orchid. It has the rare distinction of flowering only two weeks a year, and – even more remarkably – bearing male and female flowers on the same plants. An invaluable quality that allows it – through an in-depth understanding of its environment – to adapt its metabolism by establishing an ongoing symbiosis with its ecosystem. In the face of dangers, excess sun or a lack of light, for example, it responds by producing more male flowers, thus encouraging the fertilisation of female flowers and, as a result, more fruit. It intelligently conserves its energy and optimises its longevity, embodying a real talisman against time.

¹Cycnoches cooperi cultivated.

AN EXCEPTIONAL BOTTLE HAND-CRAFTED BY THE MAISON BERNARDAUD

The Symbioserum nestles at the heart of a refillable porcelain bottle realised in an artisan manner by the maison Bernardaud. Established since 1863 in Limoges, this prestigious family-owned manufacture has epitomised the excellence of french porcelain for over 150 years.

Handcrafted, this bottle is enameled in black and enhanced with 24-carat gold.

Refillable, it embodies the expression of a more sustainable luxury.
