1987
La Prairie creates a skincare phenomenon with the introduction of Skin Caviar,
the first encapsulated delivery system to contain active ingredients including Caviar Extract,
in caviar beads. Caviar beads which will become iconic.
More than 30 years ago, La Prairie made the audacious choice of using Caviar, a source of rich nutrients, coveted for its power to enrich and regenerate skin. From raising high quality sturgeon in water sourced from Swiss alpine springs, to harvesting the caviar and turning the ingredient into powerful skincare products, La Prairie seeks to capture the precious elements of caviar for their unique, restorative properties.
La Prairie’s caviar is infused with time itself. In the Swiss Alps, a limited number of high quality sturgeon are raised in pools containing water sourced from alpine springs. The spring water spends months seeping through rocks, and therefore undergoes a process of natural filtration, bringing with it the rich minerality of this ancient landscape, for an outstanding quality of caviar ingredients.
