Rose Oil

Rose

Breaks down pigmentation, anti-aging, anti-wrinkle

Product Description

Rose oil (Rose Otto) is arguably the most precious and romantic of all essential oils, produced by steam-distillation of the fresh petals of Rosa damascena Mill., the Damask rose, cultivated most famously in the Rose Valley of Bulgaria (Kazanlak region) and the highlands of Turkey (Isparta), with significant production also from Iran, Morocco, India, and, increasingly, China. The production of 1 kg of rose otto requires approximately 3,000–5,000 kg of hand-picked rose petals (roughly 1 hectare of plantation), harvested before dawn when the essential oil content peaks. The oil is defined by its exquisite balance of citronellol (30–40%), geraniol (15–20%), nerol (5–10%), and the trace rose oxides and β-damascenone that collectively create the characteristic rose aroma. At room temperature, rose otto is a pale olive-yellow liquid; below approximately 20°C, the stearoptene fraction (odorless paraffin waxes, primarily nonadecane and heneicosane) precipitates as whitish crystals — this is normal and a positive indicator of authenticity rather than a defect. Our rose oil is sourced from Damask rose plantations in China (Yunnan and Xinjiang provinces), offering a competitive price point for a high-cost material without compromising on the essential character of authentic rose otto. We also offer rose absolute (solvent-extracted) for perfumery applications where maximum tenacity and full-spectrum aroma are required.

Industry Applications

Fine Perfumery

An irreplaceable ingredient in haute parfumerie, forming the heart of countless floral, floriental, chypre, and oriental compositions. The world's most famous perfumes, from Chanel No. 5 to Joy by Jean Patou, are built around rose. Natural rose oil provides a warmth, depth, and diffusion that even the most sophisticated synthetic rose reconstitutions cannot fully replicate. Rose absolute and rose otto are used in complementary fashion — the otto for its bright, honeyed top and heart, the absolute for its richer, deeper, more tenacious dry-down. Both are essential materials in any perfumer's organ.

cosmetics

Premium Skincare

A hallmark ingredient in luxury anti-aging skincare and facial oils. Rose oil is renowned for its ability to improve skin texture, tone, and luminosity while providing gentle astringency and anti-inflammatory benefits suitable even for sensitive and reactive skin. Used at low concentrations (0.02–0.2%) in facial serums, creams, and oils. The oil exhibits mild antimicrobial activity and promotes a sense of well-being that contributes to the overall luxury skincare experience. Rose hydrosol (rose water), the aqueous co-product of distillation, is a valuable secondary ingredient valued for its mild astringency and pH-balancing properties.

aromatherapy

Aromatherapy & Emotional Wellness

Universally associated with love, comfort, and emotional healing. Rose oil is used in aromatherapy for grief, heartbreak, anxiety, depression, and emotional trauma — it is considered perhaps the most emotionally powerful of all essential oils. Its profound psychological effects are supported by a growing body of evidence on the olfactory-limbic connection. Diluted to 1% in jojoba oil and worn as a personal fragrance or used in an aromatherapy inhaler, rose oil provides a portable anchor of calm and self-compassion throughout the day.

Blending Suggestions

Storage & Shelf Life

Store in tightly sealed, full containers in a cool (<20&#176;C), dark environment. Shelf life: 3–5 years. The monoterpene alcohols (citronellol, geraniol) are relatively stable; oxidation is the primary degradation pathway. Stearoptene crystallization is normal — gently warm bottle in hand or at 30&#176;C water bath, then agitate before use. Rose otto should be stored in glass or aluminum; avoid HDPE for long-term storage due to permeation and sorption concerns.
