customers would obsess
over for their beautiful
textures, wonderful scents
and solidly effective results.
She also insisted on her
beauty formulas being
kept clean.
This was 13 years ago,
when the term “clean beauty”
hadn’t yet been coined – it
was uncharted territory. Yet,
Sylvie was adamant that
the brand be based on that
philosophy: products free
of skin-harming additives
like sulphate detergents,
mineral oil, synthetic colours
and fragrances, and so
on – as well as formulas
that are cruelty-free and
vegan-friendly. Her products
not only have to be safe on
the skin, but also produce
effective results.
With that DNA in mind,
the brand places its focus
on scienti c advancement,
so as to harvest the
maximum potential of
botanicals. The mindset was
to convey the message of
“skin science, powered by
nature”. This led to its most
recent breakthrough: plant
stem cells.
Chantecaille isn’t just
the rst beauty brand to
use plant stem cells. It is
also the brand that uses
the most varieties of plantstem cells in the market.
Why? According to the
research team, there is
evidence showing that
certain plant stem cells
can protect and enhance
the protective abilities of
our skin’s own epidermal
stem cells, to guard our skin
from ageing. Using plant
stem cells is also a way to
save the environment – it’s
a sustainable ingredient
source.
That nding has
been translated into the
Chantecaille Bio Lifting
Serum +. Here, choice plant
stem cells were chosen and
incorporated into the product
because of their powerful
effect on skin lifting,
reshaping, re-plumping and
rming. The serum also
addresses photo-ageing
caused by blue light.
For an immediate
lifting effect, you can thank
the alga tensing blend,
which forms an invisible
(and flexible) lm on the
skin for a tightening and
smoothing effect.Other plant stem cells
include: caffeine-free coffee
stem cells that moisturise
and plump skin from within,
to hydrate and ll out
wrinkles; bionymph peptide
stem cell extract to boost
collagen production and
reduce the appearance of
ne lines; raspberry stem
cell extract to ght against
inflammation, and soothe
irritable skin. As an added
bonus, there are cocoa
peptides in the serum that
protect skin against harm
caused by blue light.
To complement the
Bio Lifting Serum +, try the
Bio Lifting Cream +. The
velvety smooth cream is
a supercharged version of
the original cream. It has 10
million plant stem cells in it,
so the effects of the lifting
and reshaping are boosted
in this reformulation. Both
serum and cream work
hand-in-hand for rmer,
tauter, and suppler skin.The Chantecaille Bio Lifting
Serum + costs $460, while the
Bio Lifting Cream + costs $578.
