Formulating natural skincare is not always a bed of roses. Sylvie Chantecaille shares her journey
It was evening in the bustling city of Beijing, China, where we were poised to meet the founder of luxury French skincare, Sylvie Chantecaille. Her namesake beauty brand Chantecaille, is not only a champion of premium natural skincare, but an advocate of wildlife conservation through its many philanthropic efforts.
Greeting journalists from Singapore, Sylvie, dressed in a tailored white tweed jacket and matching skirt, appeared weary from travel but with a brightness in her eyes, full of enthusiasm and curiosity. At 71, most people would’ve eased into a retirement pace, but Sylvie showed no signs of stopping. Perhaps the fact that Chantecaille is a fully family-owned business, with her daughters Olivia and Alex as the Creative Director and Vice President of Sales and Promotions; son Phillippe as the director of Media Productions and husband Olivier, the Chief Financial Officer – Sylvie and her family has to work extra hard to deliver cutting-edge skincare with sustainable ingredients, all without compromising on quality.
