Crema Nera Essence Lotion (クレマ ネラ エッセンス ローション) is a new lotion from Armani Beauty's top-of-the-line*1 skincare series Crema Nera (クレマ ネラ). It goes on sale on Friday, October 16, 2026.
The lotion is built on Armani Beauty's original "Crystal Oil in Water" formula (クリスタル オイル イン ウォーター). It combines crystal oil*2, which gives the skin's surface a glow, with Micro PCA*3, a moisturizing ingredient that hydrates. The liquid crystal texture, woven from oil and water, blends smoothly into the skin for a light, fresh feel. As a new lotion in the Crema Nera skincare routine, it offers the aging care*4 that is characteristic of the series.
Product Features
Crystal Oil
Crystal oil*2 gives the skin's surface a firm feel and conditions it toward a glossy look that reflects light beautifully.
Micro PCA
The lotion contains Micro PCA*3, a naturally derived moisturizing ingredient said to be about 1/50 the size of hyaluronic acid. It moisturizes the skin and leads to a plump-looking finish.
Feel and Finish
A fresh, firm feel that can be sensed right after application is the lotion's hallmark. Its light texture blends into the skin and conditions it to be smooth and full of moisture.

About Crema Nera, Armani Beauty's Top-of-the-Line Skincare
"We spend our whole lives looking for perfection, I am convinced that nature is the form closest to that perfection"
— Giorgio Armani
In developing its skincare, Armani Beauty follows a guiding principle of drawing on the gifts of nature and advanced science and delivering them to the skin with an exceptional feel. Armani Laboratories screened more than 150 plants and discovered Myrothamnus flabellifolia (ミロタムヌスフラベリフォリア), a plant with strong vitality even in harsh environments.
It is a shrub that grows on rocky ground in central Africa, near the equator, under intense ultraviolet rays. Temperatures swing from 0°C to 60°C, and in the dry season no rain falls for six months. The plant survives even after ten years without rain, when it appears withered. Advanced technology was used to identify the ingredients that support this plant's defensive strength and other traits, and development applies this mysterious plant together with Armani's own new technology.
Sustainable Sourcing of Natural Ingredients and Commitment to Responsibility
Myrothamnus flabellifolia, the source of Reviscentalis* (リヴィセンタリス), an ingredient common to all Crema Nera products, is harvested by local farmers in the Chibi district (チビ地区) of Zimbabwe, Africa. Armani Beauty contracts with local small-scale farmers and pursues sustainable beauty in harmony with the environment and society. Its initiatives include AQUA for LIFE, which provides safe drinking water, sanitary water supply facilities, and handwashing stations.
