Ladione's Key Ingredient: Rose de Mai Extract

Rose de Mai

Roses have always been a symbol of elegance, femininity, and beauty. But among them, one stands out—not just for its delicate fragrance but for its exceptional benefits in skincare. Rose de Mai, also known as Provence Rose. Coveted in the beauty industry, this rare and seasonal flower has been a prized ingredient for centuries and can be found in our Ageless Rose Immortelle Face Cream. 

What is Rose de Mai? 

A Flower Like No Other 

Rose de Mai isn’t your ordinary bloom. This variety of the Rosa centifolia is distinguished not only by its breathtaking scent but by its provenance. Also known as the “hundred-petaled rose,” Rose de Mai is primarily grown in Grasse, France—the perfume capital of the world. 

However, what truly sets Rose de Mai apart is its exclusivity. The flower blooms only for three to four weeks in May, making its harvest as fleeting as it is valuable. Since its cultivation requires careful care and attention, not to mention its labor-intensive harvesting, Rose de Mai is one of the most luxurious rose extracts in the world. 

The Science Behind Its Magic 

Beyond its romantic aesthetic, Rose de Mai is a powerhouse of beneficial compounds. Its petals contain antioxidants, vitamins, and essential fatty acids, along with soothing and aromatic properties. These attributes make it a standout ingredient in cosmetics.
