Chanel launched Sublimage Essential Regenerating cream, a high-end moisturizer and anti-aging cream in September. The cream’s key ingredient is the proprietary planifolia PFA, which is extracted from a vanilla planifolia source in Madagascar. Because the plant is slow-growing and can only be harvested one month out of the year, Chanel laboratories developed a patent-pending process called polyfractioning to increase the amount of usable extract. Sublimage retails for $350. More info: www.chanel.com.
