Not many may have heard of Chantecaille, but if you are knee-deep in the skin and beauty industry like me, Chantecaille is a brand you can not miss. This family-owned, family-run, family-led business holds skin-like beauty, nature conservation, and philanthropic pursuits at the forefront of their brand. Their clean-beauty initiatives and formulations are what make them stand out from other luxe labels. Not only do they create amazing products for the skin, but their range of skin-friendly beauty products is worth the splurge when it comes to pampering your skin, body, mind, and soul. So, without further ado, here are some of their iconic products tried and tested by beauty editors at Nykaa, so you don’t have to. Read ahead to know if these products are worth the splurge or not (because honestly, some of the products are on the pricer end of the spectrum).
Chantecaille Sheer Glow Face Tint
This is actually a really effective glow tint for your face. It is lightweight, formulated with anti-ageing botanicals, absorbs instantly, and leaves a very refined glow on your skin. If you are on the fairer end of skin tones, try the Rose tint, it leaves a light, rosy tint on your face, a natural flush, if I may say so. If you have deeper or darker skin tones like me, opt for the Bronze tint, which leaves a warm glow on your face, a sun-kissed affair, if not an actual sunny glow. Either way, it blurs the fine lines, evens out your skin texture, and also acts as a primer to your base makeup. It’s a perfect gift for yourself or your loved ones, a luxurious crème that makes your skin feel glowy, youthful, and velvety.

Chantecaille Lip Veil
This Lip Veil series is a philanthropic initiative that supports African elephants, who are on the verge of extinction due to hindrances on their migration paths. You can check out their website for more, because I’m here to talk solely about the product, because boy, is the packaging and formulation a hit. The bullet comes in a regal Persian blue container with an elephant outlined in gold. The product inside is as luxurious as the packaging outside. It’s creamy without being heavy, it’s pigmented without being too oily, and it glides effortlessly without drying out the lips. It’s a luxe purchase I wouldn’t mind making occasionally. These are some of the shades that suit the Indian skin tone.

Chantecaille Corrector Pen
This colour correcting pen from Chantecaille is no less than magic. Just a single stroke is all you need for this hydrating formula to blend and blur your uneven skin tone and texture instantly. The tip is made of a sugar-based oligomer that plumps up your skin without being too harsh. It even remains crease-free all day, minimises age spots, and reduces puffiness. You can even skip a whole routine, if you want that coveted no-makeup makeup look, just a few strokes near your eyes, chin, and other pigmented areas and get ready to experience a brighter complexion, with even-toned skin.

Parting Thoughts
I often find myself thinking about Hermès heir Pierre-Alexis Dumas' distinction between costly and expensive. I realise brands and products such as Chantecaille are costly because their price reflects the true cost of quality and craftsmanship. And in every true sense, Chantecaille is costly, but for all the right reasons, their ingredient roster is impeccable, their philanthropic pursuits and commendable, and their mission to create clean, conservational, and conscious beauty is unlike any other. If you feel like splurging some dough on beauty that protects and nourishes, you can give Chantecaille a try.
