It started with a dry oil and moisture-rich cream last February when La Prairie launched the first two products in their Cellular Swiss Ice Crystal Collection. These much celebrated products offered a brilliant way to help skin protect itself from premature aging and the extremes we encounter on a daily bases from changing climate, pollution, stress and travel. Formulated with the Swiss Ice Crystal Complex of which it derives it’s namesake, this concoction began in the Swiss Alps with the discover of two alpine plants, Purple Saxifrage, and Soldanella Alpina and one algae, Swiss Snow Algae with extraordinary abilities to withstand the elements and thrive in the harshest settings on earth. Some science later La Prairie formulated a complex that embodies the strength of the survivor plants and transfers it to skin to help protect against premature aging.
