In Appreciation of Sisley’s Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream

When it comes to skincare icons, there are few more renowned than the creations in Sisley Paris’s Black Rose collection. Harnessing the potent properties of its namesake black rose, each piece in the range is the very definition of luxury skincare.

So, what gave the Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream the edge over it’s rosy siblings? First, there’s the smart combination of ingredients, then there’s the scent, then the texture, then that sensuous glass jar… we could go on, but above all else, what sets this hero cream apart is its seriously impressive results.

As one of the first luxury skincare brands to tap into the power of botanicals, Sisley sets a potent precedent for those combining nature and science. Still owned and run by the founding family, each ingredient is highly researched and comes with the backing of numerous scientific research initiatives. With the Black Rose collection, this has led to an impressive 69 awards across the range.

Sisley’s Black Baccara Rose is grown exclusively in the Anjou region of southern France, and within its petals, can be found a host of impressive properties. The black rose’s refining and softening properties are combined with hibiscus and alpine rose to further enhance radiance and protect skin from free radical damage. This combination, alongside additional hydrating and plumping ingredients, makes for a cream that is super soothing, radiance boosting and oh-so desirable.

There’s an awful lot to love about Sisley’s stellar creation, but for the true skincare afficionados, there’s one element of this cream that takes the crown: the texture. Describes as “infinitely sensory”, it’s a texture unlike anything else, in the best possible way. Soft, sateen and meltingly luscious, you’ll spend all day looking forward to the next time you apply this skincare icon.
