Origin of CHICOUTÉ

The name CHICOUTÉ is synonymous with a cloudberry liqueur made by the native people of Quebec, and also means “precious” and “elegant”, hoping to provide modern women with an elegant, pleasant and effective skincare experience by using precious ingredients.

On a trip to Quebec’s Côte-Nord region, Mr. Shahan Nazar, Estée Lauder’s former Senior Vice President, discovered a golden berry called cloudberry, and became intrigued by the plant, which grows in the harsh Arctic environment.

The local people of Quebec admire and love this berry, not only as an ingredient in their food and wine making, but also as a direct medicine for a variety of ailments.

The cloudberry can grow in extremely cold and dry conditions and contains a variety of skin-friendly ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C, vitamin E, ellagitannins and benzoic acid. The combination of these natural ingredients has a remarkable effect on the fight against aging.

Inspired by this research, in 2020, Dr. Michael Ingrassia and his team developed Polar Recovery Complex, a line of anti-aging skin products under the brand named CHICOUTÉ (in French).
