Majestic May Rose
If beauty was a garden, the May Rose would be its undisputed queen. A star ingredient in perfumery and an essential cosmetic component, it possesses a million and one virtues already well-known in Moroccan households.
By Jeanne Dréan, beauty journalist
Native to Grasse – a picturesque town in the south of France – this precious flower, scientifically known as Rosa Centifolia, also thrives under the Moroccan sun, earning it the nickname "The Pale Rose of Morocco”. What makes it so emblematic? Its enchanting fragrance and skin-beneficial properties, renowned for centuries.
A wonderful beauty ingredient
The May Rose takes its charming name from its unique blooming period, which traditionally takes place in May. When it blooms, its hundred petals give off a scent that is instantly recognizable and found in many women's perfumes.
In addition to its rich history and intoxicating aroma, it offers numerous skin benefits. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and amino acids, this iconic flower has soothing, moisturizing, and anti-inflammatory properties. These qualities make it a valuable ingredient in both traditional skincare preparations and the modern cosmetics industry.
Rose water, derived from the distillation of May Rose petals, is famous for its toning and soothing properties. It is often used as a toner to refresh and balance the skin, and as an ingredient in body milks, creams, and face masks. In Morocco, it is also used to dilute rhassoul – a type of clay – to create masks for the skin or hair.
May Rose extracts are commonly used in well-aging skincare routines for their ability to stimulate cell renewal, provide deep moisturization, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Moreover, it’s renowned for its antibacterial properties, making it an ideal choice for soothing sensitive and irritation-prone skin.
A touch of luxury in your skincare routine
With its beneficial properties and prestigious history, the May Rose has become a symbol of luxury and elegance in the refined world of beauty. That's why at marocMaroc, its benefits are at the heart of a number of our iconic formulas, whose packaging also pays homage to the queen of all flowers.
