Dior Science

The House of Dior was built on the love of women and flowers. Christian Dior drew inspiration, strength and happiness from his gardens, whether in Granville or La Colle Noire.

The Flowers of Dior

After 30 years of research, Dior has identified 9 flowers with exceptional properties and qualities, and analyzed their skincare potential to transfer it to the skin

The Rose de Granville

The Rose de Granville, which was chosen from among 40,000 varieties for its resilience and abundance of flowers, boasts a unique genomic heritage and extraordinary molecular richness. These active ingredients are up to 4 times more biologically effective than retinoic acid on the youthful appearance of the skin.

Longoza from Madagascar

The phoenix flower—named after its unique power of self-regeneration—blooms on the island of Madagascar. This flower infuses Capture Totale skincare with its strength.

Vines from Chateau D’yquem

The high polyphenol content of Yquem vine sap extract contributes to its antioxidant power, making it 4 times more effective than resveratrol and twice as effective as vitamin C.*

White Nymphéa from Latour-marliac

The nymphéa is one of the most resilient species in the world. Its purifying power inspired Dior to create Cleansing with Nymphéa.

Iris from Tuscany

The Florentine iris blooms from mid-April to mid-May, brightening the Tuscan landscape. Its properties that protect skin radiance have been known and used by women since ancient times.
