Did you know that Coco Chanel’s favorite flower was the Red Camellia? Turns out , the brand harnessed the energy of the Red Camilla and created the new sustainable No 1 De Chanel Collection! Chanel’s New Generation of skincare, and makeup is an eco-responsible, holistic,and anti-aging line. 
And the “main event” is the Red Camilla, the key ingredient in all 35 of No 1 De Chanel products, which includes skincare, 2 makeup products, and a fragrance. My first purchase in the collection is the No 1 De Chanel Red Camellia Revitalizing Foundation. Keep reading to discover why the petals of Coco Chanel’s favorite flower has landed in the new, soon to be iconic No 1 De Chanel Collection.
You can find the No 1 De Chanel Red Camellia Revitalizing Foundation at Ulta and on the Chanel Website. The Red Camellia Revitalizing Foundation ( 1 fl. oz. / 30 ml ) costs $70.
Let’s talk Red Camellia.First Of All, the Red Camellia flower revitalizing powers and extraordinary energy give it perennial youth. 
For example, the flowers can survive harsh winters because they can withstand the wet, and the cold without wilting. Chanel researched the Red Camellia for 10 years. And, they found out that Red Camellia Extract is one powerful floral extract! 
Above all, the Red Camellia Petals are rich in Protocatechuic Acid. The research claims that Protocatechuic Acid targets bad cells , called “senescent” cells, which are what leads to the Eternal Process of Cellular Aging. In turn, the Eternal Process of Aging leads to The External Signs of Aging, like fine lines, and loss of the skin’s elasticity and radiance. 
If this is the case, and The Red Camellia Petals Oil are the “be all to end all” then maybe, just maybe, it would be “like drinking from the fountain of youth!”
Red Camellia Oil delivers comfort and helps maintain skin’s barrier function. 
The research claims that immediately after application, the complexion appears 33% more radiant* with 55% of comfort restored. After 1 month, skin looks smoother!
Other ingredients include omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, and oleic acid, that helps repair the skin. Evenmore, the leaves of the Red Camellia, are an excellent source of plant collagen, which helps to stimulate collagen production in our skin.
The foundation is buildable for more coverage, and it gives you a luminous finish. The liquid foundation softens the skin, while protecting it against environmental aggressors. 97% of the ingredients are derived naturally.
The Foundation comes in 20 shades. The shade range includes fair, light,light-medium, medium, dark medium, light deep, and deep. Also, the shades come in three undertones. B is for neutral undertones, R is for pinker undertones, D is for yellow undertones. For example BR would be neutral-pink undertones. 
The shade I chose B 20, is a light-medium with neutral undertones.
The formula comes in a round glass bottle, with a black plastic lid. 
Also the foundation comes out with a pump applicator. Shake the bottle well, so the foundation won’t come out too thin and watery. The coverage is between light and medium. 
1-1 1/2 pumps is all you need. Your skin will feel hydrated, and look fresh! It didn’t stick into the lines around my eyes,which is great.
Finally, to date, this collection is the most eco-conscious collection from Chanel. This translates to everything, from the natural, raw materials inside the formula, to the outer packaging made, inpart, from recycled bio-sourced materials. 
Also, the Camellias are grown “in house,” with other plants that naturally reinforce the ecosystem, which allows the environment to be chemical-free. Plus,all the products in the collection come in refillable packaging,recyclable boxes,and organic ink! Hey, even the weight of the bottles and jars cuts down on greenhouse emissions.
I am impressed! I admire the brand for their eco-conscious collection. I am looking forward to trying the skincare, and fragrance! So far, I love the serum-like feel of the formula, and hope the powerful floral extract from the Red Camellias do their job, with their potent anti-aging magic!
