Black Diamond Emulsion, $800, To Launch in May

The luxury skin care line, 111 Skin, is launching three new products at Barneys New York this spring, and expanding its Celestial Black Diamond Collection.

The new 111 Skin Celestial Black Diamond Emulsion will launch at Barney’s in May, and it’s retail price is $800.

The brand was founded in 2012 by plastic surgeon Yannis Alexandrides. Its Black Diamond collection includes products formulated with black diamond microspheres and minerals to transport ingredients more deeply into the skin, to target aging and damaged skin.

The brand’s star ingredient is its patented NAC Y2, which is a combination of acetyl cysteine, a potent vitamin C derivative, and Escin. And, scientists who used to work in the Soviet space program tested the products.

The brand’s packaging looks just as luxurious as its prices. The line is black, and includes airless bottles and jars with silver accents.
