After more than 15 years of research, the Orchidarium and Guerlain Research reveal Orchidée Impériale Black The Cream, Guerlain’s skincare masterpiece. The extraordinary power of the Black Orchid is encapsulated at its heart.

Originally from Peru, this rare orchid increases its longevity by adapting to its environment. A true talisman to combat time. The Black Orchid is the source of the BlackimmuneTM technology.

This technology impacts on 95% of cells involved in the skin’s self-defence system*. With every application, the skin becomes more resistant. Continuously protected, it can concentrate on revitalising itself to combat visible signs of ageing.

Wrinkles appear to fade, the skin's texture is more refined and facial contours look more defined. The skin is firmer, more supple and unbelievably radiant. The Cream nestles safely in a jewel-shaped porcelain jar hand-crafted by Maison Bernardaud.

Based in Limoges since 1863, this prestigious family manufacturing business has embodied French porcelain craftsmanship. The Cream jar is now refillable, the ultimate expression of sustainable luxury.

INGREDIENTS

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 exceptional potential, Guerlain set up its first research centre ever to be devoted to an ingredient: the Orchidarium®.

The aim of this international research centre dedicated to the Orchid and skin longevity is to uncover, understand, study and explore the potential of orchids and their biological and cosmetic properties, in order to support skin longevity research.

Guerlain Research runs three interrelated and complementary centres:

The Experimental Garden — Geneva (Switzerland),
a greenhouse where a collection of Guerlain orchids is housed in order to study and identify the most remarkable species.

The Basic Research Laboratory — Strasbourg (France),
the first basic research unit dedicated to the study of orchids and the identification and analysis of longevity molecules.

The Exploratory Nature Reserve — TianZi (Yunnan, China),
a nature reserve - a pillar of biodiversity and conservation - where wild orchids are protected and reintroduced into their natural environment.
