Why Gold-infused Skincare is Worth Its Weight

This precious and powerful ancient mineral boosts your glow alongside the alchemy of other breakthrough ingredients

Sylvie Chantecaille discovered the ancient Ayurvedic practice of gold therapy in India, after being treated with the precious metal after a horseback riding accident. Pure gold has long been used in eastern traditions to treat trauma and stress, both physical and emotional. Inspired by her quick recovery, in 2007 Sylvie dreamed up what would become Chantecaille’s Gold Collection with the launch of Nano Gold Energizing Cream and Eye Cream. Sourced from Japan, our 24k gold particles—the mineral in its purest form—are actually bound to other ingredients, like peptides or Vitamin C, to amplify the metal’s regenerative effects. Together, their properties soften the appearance of aging.

Our latest Gold Collection formula, 24K Gold Serum Intense, features an exciting form of gold bonded to Vitamin C to take the vitamin’s brightening properties to new heights. The groundbreaknig serum also features a gold pentatpeptide known for its remarkable line smoothing properties.

Discover the new formula and the entire Gold Collection below.
