THE LIFE FORCE OF THE VANDA COERULEA ORCHID

TO REVIVE CELLULAR YOUTH FROM THE ROOTS

The new Longevity Rich Cream is the first Guerlain age-defying skincare that revives cell longevity at its root to visibly master youth each day.

The culmination of twenty years’ research, Guerlain has captured the exceptional power of longevity of an orchid: Vanda coerulea. Capable of living for over one hundred years, it is known as the “flower of ten thousand generations”.

Its vital force has been concentrated in the new patent filed¹ ORCHID LONGEVITY?? technology.

For the first time, Guerlain has demonstrated the ability of this age-defying concentrate to revive youth connections within skin cells, at the roots of 9 longevity pathways².

Cell vitality augments by 196%³, encouraging high regeneration of the components of youthful skin, from the first applications.

Skin looks younger, each day?.

PATENT FILED¹ ORCHID LONGEVITY?? TECHNOLOGY TO ACTIVATE 9 LONGEVITY PATHWAYS²

Cellular youth relies on a set of biological mechanisms known as “longevity pathways”. With age, these pathways weaken, and the cell loses its ability to maintain skin’s youthfulness.

After 20 years’ research, Guerlain has succeeded in amplifying 9 longevity pathways², creating ORCHID LONGEVITY?? technology infused with the life force of the Vanda coerulea.

For the first time, Guerlain has demonstrated its ability to target a key biological marker of ageing in skin cells – MAMs: dynamic youth connections at the heart of longevity pathways².

Cell vitality augments by 196%³, they recover their ability to regenerate the components essential for youthful skin.

A NEW PATENT FILED¹ REFILL SYSTEM, AT THE FOREFRONT OF ECO-DESIGN

The new Orchidée Impériale refill is a first in terms of cosmetics eco-design: mainly recyclable², it consists of 90%³ cellulose, a plant-based fibre, and incorporates a polymer film to guarantee the product’s preservation.

From the first refill, the environmental impact is reduced by at least 30%?.

Ten times lighter³, this innovative system required three years’ development and the creation of new methods to assess its performance and meet Guerlain’s exacting quality standards. More than 9,500 test pieces were produced and over 80 airtightness tests carried out.

¹Patent application filed FR 24 04336.

²Recycling an inseparable package can be complicated; however, solutions exist that may vary from country to country depending on the technologies available:

1. Specialized treatment centers

2. Energy recovery

3. Development of new recycling streams

It is important to inquire about local options and to drive innovation towards more sustainable materials.

³Calculated compared to the weight of the materials in the refill.

THE LONGEVITY PROTOCOL INSPIRED BY GUERLAIN SPA FACIALIST EXPERTISE

More than ever, Orchidée Impériale has been inspired by the Guerlain Spas’ comprehensive approach to longevity to support women in their global approach to youthfulness and well-being.

This collaboration has given rise to the longevity protocol, a series of massage techniques developed by the Maison’s expert facialists, conducive to visibly mastering skin’s youthfulness.
