Developed by Guerlain Research, the age-defying skincare products in the Abeille Royale range are composed of active ingredients with exceptional repairing properties derived from bee products*, especially honey from Ouessant Island in France. The formulas of the two new Day Creams and the new Night Cream have been revised to offer even greater effectiveness and sensory pleasure.

The result: The skin’s appearance is instantly and lastingly transformed and the visible signs of skin ageing minimised, to even more precisely meet women’s expectations in terms of age-defying skincare.

The DAY CREAM and RICH DAY CREAM: Two creams, two textures, two innovative formulas.

Firming – Wrinkle Minimising – Radiance

An innovative technology: At the heart of the new Abeille Royale Day Creams lies a Repairing Concentrate with a comprehensive action that works on all the key levels of the skin to improve its radiance and the quality of its texture. It originates from the Guerlain Research laboratories’ discovery that Ouessant honey helped boost the production of genes coding for two proteins that play a role in forming the skin’s barrier (stimulation of Cornifin gene expression by 50% and Elafin gene expression by 27% by keratinocytes in culture)*.

It incorporates two types of hyaluronic acid:

• One of high molecular weight that acts rapidly on the surface, hydrates and smooths the skin, minimising wrinkles and fine lines.

• The other of low molecular weight that passes through the skin’s mesh to:

– boost the proliferation of epidermal* cells to reduce surface imperfections

– boost collagen and fibroblast synthesis in the dermis*

Sensory textures

The new Day Cream texture is a perfect balance between richness and lightness. The texture’s comforting softness can instantly be felt, leaving skin radiant and comfortable. The Rich Day Cream has an utterly delectable texture as rich as a balm. Enriched with beeswax butter, derived entirely from natural sources, the formula gently glides over the skin, which instantly appears smoother. A gourmet pleasure enhanced even further by its honey colour. On application, this nectar’s slightly fresh, sunkissed fragrance holds an enchanting appeal. Honeyed notes of beeswax absolute fuse with the more floral aromas of mimosa and broom, blending with the scent of fresh herbs…

and a soothing action. Moroccan honey’s antioxidant properties target free radicals(1) and decrease their production by more than half. It also spectacularly reduces prostaglandins E2, pro-infl ammatory mediators(1) that contribute to premature skin ageing. the luscious, silky smooth texture makes application a pleasure and holds the promise of effectiveness on wrinkles, fi rmness and facial contours during the night, the most conducive time for skin renewal.

… Which honeys?

Originally, Ouessant honey…

On the island of Ouessant(1), located 18 km off the Brittany coast and listed as a nature reserve by UNESCO, forages a black bee (Apis mellifera mellifera) endemic to the island that produces a honey of exceptional purity due to its genetic properties and the exceptional quality of the Ouessant ecosystem, free from any pollution or intensive farming. This honey with a slightly salty taste boasts an exceptionally high content in minerals and trace elements (sodium, magnesium, calcium, selenium, silicon) as well as amino acids. These are all elements that are particularly active in the skin, both in the connective tissue and also in collagen and elastin fibre synthesis. Rare and pure Ouessant honey is at the heart of Abeille Royale Repairing Concentrate. This concentrate boosts self-repair at every key level of the skin for instant and lasting age-defying effectiveness(2).

… and exclusive Sologne royal jelly

Another key ingredient in the concentrate is incorporated into the different formulas: Guerlain’s exclusive Sologne royal jelly. It nourishes skin to leave it firmer and more toned.

For women today, beauty transcends simplistic definitions: it is not just about looking good and feeling good but also about doing good and living well. From a large-scale survey conducted across the world, L’Occitane found out that modern women look beyond clinically-tested results to the quality and origin of the ingredients, as well as long-term effects of these on their faces. In short, today’s women seek harmony – not just between what they feel on the inside and see in the mirror but also in the world at large.

With the Harmonie Divine collection, L’Occitane En Provence pays homage to beauty as we know it today – evolving, inclusive, ageless and natural. Inspired by observing nature’s very own everlasting examples, the anti-ageing collection brings together two ingredients with truly astonishing talents: red algae with the ability to eternally restore and a flower that never fades. Harvested from the sun-kissed Corsican earth and the clear waters of the coast of Calvi respectively, the wild Immortelle Millésimée flower and Jania Rubens micro-algae are the best examples of nature’s regenerative prowess.

Powered by the elements of earth and sea, the Immortelle Millésimée and the rare Jania Rubens bring together the extraordinary regenerative abilities of their extracts in two exceptional formulas. When combined, these two ingredients target the overall harmony of the face by acting not only on the classic signs of ageing, but also on facial volumes and contours.

The new collection focuses on enhancing harmony both inside and outside the body through two signature products – The Divine Harmony Cream and The Divine Harmony Serum.

DIVINE HARMONY SERUM: Taking Care of Facial Contours and Volumes

 For the Divine Harmony Serum, L’Occitane added to the power of active ingredients held by 5,000 micro-drops of Immortelle Millésimée by enriching it with Jania Rubens. They not only contain Immortelle Millésimée essential oil, but also myrtle essential oil and camelina, evening primrose and borage oils. With each pump of the dispenser, the earth and sea collide: the micro-drops burst delicately, without leaving the slightest trace; the Jania Rubens and Immortelle fuse together and melt into the skin as the lightweight serum infuses the skin with powerful active ingredients. As the fingertips trace the contours of the face, the skin regains its youthful plumpness, smoothness and definition. Priced at AED 799 for a 30ml bottle.

DIVINE HARMONY CREAM: Revives Radiance and Slows the Signs of Time

The Divine Harmony Cream transports us to Corsica – the Island of Beauty with its refreshing, uplifting scent of the clear Mediterranean waters, woven with notes of earth, myrtle, musk and immortelle. The cream’s texture is as soft and fine as the skin. It melts – quite literally – into the skin, which rapidly absorbs its active ingredients. Upon contact, the Jania Rubens extract sinks into the skin, giving a feeling of comfort and hydration. Then the formula evolves and the cream transforms into a soft oil that allows the lipophilic active ingredients to penetrate the skin – particularly the Immortelle Millésimée and myrtle essential oils, as well as camelina, evening primrose and borage oils. It helps to soften expression lines, rebalance facial volumes and boost radiance: the three pillars of facial harmony. Priced at AED 699 for a 50ml bottle.

L’Occitane customers care about the environment, so as part of the comprehensive, holistic approach taken for this new range, it was key that L’Occitane should also take a sustainable approach focused on renewal, recycling and durability. This way of thinking, still so rare in the cosmetics industry, goes hand-in-hand with the vision of luxury embodied by Divine Harmony – a luxury that lasts over time. Both the serum and cream feature an eco-refillable compartment, subtly worked into the delicate shapes of the elegant packaging. The refills are easy to remove and replace, designed to have as few components as possible. The serum refills can be purchased individually for AED659 and the cream refills will be available in stores soon.

The Divine Harmony range can be purchased exclusively at selected L’Occitane stores in The Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Ibn Battuta Mall, Mirdiff City Centre, Dubai Marina Mall, The Beach, The Galleria and Yas Mall.
