Rose oil, also known as rose otto or attar of roses, is an essential oil derived from the petals of the Rosa damascena or Rosa centifolia, through a process of steam distillation. It is a clear or pale yellow liquid with a strong, sweet, and floral aroma.
Rose oil has several beneficial properties, including being an antidepressant, an antiseptic, an anti-inflammatory, an astringent, and a sedative. In aromatherapy, it is used to help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, and to promote a sense of well-being and emotional balance. It is also used to help promote healthy skin, as it helps to moisturize, soothe, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as scars and other skin imperfections.
In skincare, rose oil is often used as a face oil or as an additive to moisturizers, it is also used for skin issues like rosacea, eczema, or even dry skin. It’s also beneficial for sensitive and mature skin.
It’s important to note that, rose oil is one of the most expensive essential oils due to the large amount of rose petals needed to produce a small amount of oil. Also, it is recommended to use pure, high-quality rose oil that is certified organic, as lower-quality oils may be adulterated with other substances.
Rose oil should be used with care, as it can cause skin irritation and sensitization if used in high concentrations. It should also be avoided by pregnant women. It’s recommended to use it in low dilutions or to combine it with other carrier oils before applying it on the skin.
It can be used in a variety of ways such as in a diffuser, added to baths, as a massage oil, and in perfumes and cosmetics.
