Experience the Dance of Light and Water With La Prairie's Latest White Caviar Essence Extraordinaire

Bridging the gap between art and science, La Prairie introduce their newest addition to their White Caviar collection: the White Caviar Essence Extraordinaire. Inspired by the luminous light that meets the still waters of Lac Léman, the White Caviar Essence Extraordinaire represents the pure beauty of where Clinique La Prairie had its start in Montreux, Switzerland.

Encapsulating the captivating reflection of light and water, expect a return of glimmering luminosity to the complexion. Dr. Jacqueline Hill, global director of strategic innovation and science and Dr. Daniel Stangl, director of innovation explain that the "White Caviar Essence Extraordinaire improves skin tone evenness and provides a dual effect of plumping and smoothing the skin surface whilst densifying the collagen network. Thanks to these complementary actions, and by working on both elements of the Equation of Light, colour and reflection, skin luminosity is magnified. White Caviar Essence Extraordinaire was designed to improve the absorption of the following products of the White Caviar collection and to enhance their efficacy."

Equation of Light

Dedicated to the art of science and innovation, La Prairie decoded the Equation of Light and found that skin luminosity is a function of colour and reflection. Implementing this finding to their White Caviar collection, each product from the range targets either one or both elements of the Equation of Light to boost and improve skin luminosity. "This territory inspires us to analyse each of the elements of the Equation of Light in depth in order to find new ways to improve skin luminosity" says Dr. Hill and Dr. Stangl.

Joining hands with the application of the Equation of Light is the powerhouse of Lumidose. Taking 15 years to develop, La Prairie scientists have tirelessly studied in detail the mechanisms of melanin and how to address concerns regarding skin luminosity. As one of the main driving forces of this essence, Lumidose targets tyrosinase—the most potent inhibitor of human tyrosinase and the culprit that primarily controls our melanin production. La Prairie’s chief marketing officer, Greg Prodromides also explains that “in the epidermis, Lumidose decreases the synthesis of the brown pigment melanin which reduces light-absorbing age spots, and sees skin luminosity is increased. This exceptional ingredient is the signature of White Caviar, and we plan to infuse it across the collection.”

Poetic Synergy

Championing art at every possible avenue, La Prairie commissioned Taiwanese dancer, new media artist and choreographer Wen-Chi Su to pay tribute and capture the magical encounter of light and water through a poetic, feminine dance performance. Each movement thoughtfully executed to represent the metaphorical image of luminosity.

“When La Prairie approached me with an opportunity to work together, I appreciated the approach of exchange. I find my inspiration through true collaboration and having a community like the one at La Prairie has been very rich for myself and YiLab. Our inspiration is drawn from the same point—the essence of nature. We both want to create a beautiful, sophisticated, sensorial experience that reflects the physicality of the world. I had the opportunity to dive into the universe of La Prairie during my stay in Switzerland where I was immersed into the majestic Swiss nature. I was able to establish a strong connection between my body and my surroundings and transpose this into a timeless experience.” expresses Wen-Chi Su.

This collaboration with Wen-Chi Su is the first time in which La Prairie explores the world of performance art where body, movement and femininity come together to enrich the brand with a new paradigm. Presented at Art Basel Miami Beach last year, this performance marks the continuous collaboration of the House with the world renowned art fair.
