Lancôme will launch what it believes to be the latest “miracle” anti-aging product next month, with a rose stem cell-based cream.

Called Absolue L’Extrait, each jar of the cream contains two million rose stem cells, with the product suitable for people of all ages to be applied on the face, eye area, hands and chest.

Retailing at €320 for 50ml, the cream will launch in April across Europe, Asia and the Middle East, before reaching the US in June.

Absolue L’Extrait has been dubbed a “miracle cream” by the brand, which began investigating how plant stem cells act on human skin many years ago.

The rose, also the emblem of the French beauty giant, was a particular point of focus. Using a biotechnological cocooning procedure, scientists transformed a cell of the Lancôme Rose into a rose stem cell.

“Once you put these rose stem cells in contact with the human stem cells, you have 63% more of these cells in the skin that stay at their optimum level, which is really a first,” Youcef Nabi, president of Lancôme International, told WWD March 22.
