INTENSE REGENERATION AND NUTRIENT POWER, DRAWN FROM THE ROOTS OF YOUTH

Orchidée Impériale The Rich Cream is an exceptional complete care that helps regenerate ten vital layers of dry skin¹ to preserve, restore and prolong 12 signs of youthfulness². Guerlain Research pioneered the science of orchid longevity and, for the first time, combines the high regeneration of Orchid Totum™ technology with the intense nourishing power of orchid oil concentrate to activate skin longevity and extend and increase regeneration fivefold³.

The skin looks visibly younger for a longer period of time. The Rich Cream's nature-imitating lamellar texture melts perfectly into the skin for intense nourishment and a non-greasy finish. The formula consists of 96% ingredients of natural origin⁴. The Rich Cream is now refillable.

THE PRECIOUS OIL CONCENTRATE OF THE ORCHID: 90% OLEIC ACID

This exclusive concentrate consists of 90% oleic acid, which is responsible for young skin. It supplies the epidermis with the fats and nutrients necessary for the cohesion and energetic activity of the cells, such as omega 6, 7 and 9. The skin is 46 times more nourished⁵. The production of vital energy is therefore increased by 150%². The hydrolipidic balance is restored and the barrier function is strengthened by 60%³.

THE MOLECULAR EXTRACT OF ORCHID TOTUM™: SKIN REPAIR IS INCREASED FIVE-FOLD³

Guerlain research has successfully captured the power of two exceptional orchids, from deep in their roots to their crowns. This groundbreaking technology helps regulate cell respiration, optimizes skin recovery and targets an enzyme that extends the life of the skin, keeping it looking youthful for longer³. Skin recovery has increased fivefold³. The vital forces of the skin are reactivated and signs of aging are visibly reduced. The skin regains its youthful appearance.

THE HIGH POINT OF A LAMELLAR STRUCTURE THAT MIMICS THE NATURAL STRUCTURE OF THE EPHIDER

The unique texture of the Rich Cream has a 'millefeuille' structure that mimics the lamellar phases of the epidermis and is designed to enhance the distribution of the orchid's active ingredients through the different vital layers of the skin by up to 15 times⁶.

It is also enriched with three ingredients biologically inspired by the fats naturally found in the epidermis, to optimize its affinity and fusion with the skin: a high-tech stabilizing emulsifier, composed in particular of lysine, whose structure is similar to that of the ceramides in the epidermis. Jojoba ester and vegetable squalane, similar to the waxes that make up human sebum.

A MIRACULOUS BOX AS AN EXAMPLE OF SUSTAINABLE LUXURY

Designed as a precious jewel in a jewelry box, the Orchidée Impériale cream evokes an exquisite, refined pebble that has been part of Guerlain's sustainable development approach since 2017.
The jar is now designed with 40% recycled glass, 88% recycled plastic and the box has been optimized in terms of volume and weight (-20%⁷ and -8%⁸ respectively). The Rich Cream is now refillable.
