Alpine Rose: The Power of the Mountains, Now in Your Skincare

Rhododendron ferrugineum L., commonly known as Alpine Rose, is a resilient evergreen shrub that thrives at elevations between 1700 and 2300 meters in the European mountains. Known for surviving extreme environmental conditions, this remarkable plant produces unique protective proteins called dehydrins, which help shield against UV radiation, frost, and drought.

For centuries, Alpine Rose has been used in traditional medicine across Germany and Switzerland to support joint and cardiovascular health. Recent studies, however, have highlighted its exciting potential in skincare. A glycerol/water extract derived from its leaves has been shown to selectively eliminate senescent (aging) skin cells—a groundbreaking discovery in the world of natural senolytics.

In clinical trials, topical application of this extract significantly reduced skin redness and improved elasticity. By targeting senescent cells that drive inflammation and skin aging, Alpine Rose offers a natural path to skin rejuvenation and radiance.

🌿 At Labionme, we harness this alpine power in our Lumineria multi-action radiance oil serum.
Formulated with Alpine Rose Active, Lumineria goes beyond hydration—it energizes the skin by removing aging cells, enhancing glow, and protecting against environmental stressors.

Experience nature’s most resilient bloom in your daily ritual—and reveal your skin’s true radiance.
