The orchid, wonder of longevity and light

At the heart of this exceptional care, two technologies capitalising on the orchid's extraordinary repleneshing power.

THE CELL RESPIRATION™ TECHNOLOGY
The Foundation Concentrate is enriched with the Cell Respiration™ technology which concentrates the exceptional replenishment power drawn from an extraordinary duo of orchids. It helps regulate cellular respiration, fight oxygen deficiency and improve skin revitalisation¹. Signs of ageing are visibly improved.

THE ORCHID NOBLE NIGHT™ TECHNOLOGY
The exclusive Orchid Noble Light™ technology, inspired by epigenetics, acts holistically on the main sources of skin dullness, preserves its translucency and reveals a smooth, radiant face.

¹In vitro test on ingredients.

A dual of make-up technologies for a perfectly enhanced complexion

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.

The art of gesture: the kabuki brush

Paired with The Foundation Concentrate, the kabuki brush is designed to ensure expert application and a flawless make-up result. With its intensely soft and flexible bristles, this new, cutting-edge applicator offers the skin a gentle micro-massage.

An expert application for a perfect result

Step 1: dispense one measure of foundation onto the back of your hand for natural coverage or two measures for higher coverage.
Step 2: with the brush, take up the foundation and dab onto the face, starting with the forehead, nose, chin, and right and left cheekbones.
Step 3: smooth the foundation outward from the centre of the face using upward movements.
Step 4: blend in using circular movements for an even result.
Step 5: with the brush, tap areas that require higher coverage.
