Properties
Balancing, relaxing, inspiring, comforting. Rose symbolizes passion,
romance, sympathy and luxury. Great skincare properties, refining the
structure of the skin and balancing its functions. Its mildness, as
well as its cooling andastringent properties, make it great for nurturing
the sensitive skin surrounding the eyes (as always, properly diluted!).
Rose opens the heart and has brought calming comfort to many births.
It is a very feminine aroma that is frequently used in Aromatherapy
to improve a woman's well-being.
Suggested
Use
Add a few drops to a diffuser for a relaxing, feminine aroma climate.
Add 5 drops to a hot bath for a blissful retreat, mixing the oils with
Aromaland's Coconut Emulsifier or some Half & Half prior to blending
it with the water (in order to prevent the oils from floating on the
surface).
Add 3-4 drops to 1oz. of unscented body care product. Alternatively,
add up to 10 drops of Aromaland's Cherry Blossom, Dry Skin, Mature Skin
or Sensitive Skin Blends (which contain Rose) to 1oz. of unscented body
care product.
You can create your
own Rose Water by adding 3 drops of pure Rose Essential Oil to a spoon
of honey, and blending it with 1oz. distilled water. This is superior
to most of the Rose Waters you can buy in the stores, since those are
frequently made with synthetic Rose fragrance and contain large amounts
of preservatives. Keep refrigerated, and remember to use it soon since
it will eventually spoil. Rose Water is great in desserts and pastries.
If you want to use it as a natural skin toner make sure you don't use
too much honey, or leave it out altogether; simply fill the Rose Water
into a mister, shake well, and spray liberally.
If you are purchasing
this Essential Oil blended with Jojoba, increase the number of drops
you add to your body care or bath according to your liking. You can
use oils blended with Jojoba in a diffuser, but it is not recommended
in diffusers that work with cotton pads - Car Diffuser, Scent Ball,
Spa Scenter - or nebulizers. If using an aromalamp or Aromaland's Aromashell
it will leave an oily residue that can be washed away - but do not overheat
the lamp dish!
Blends Well With:
Most oils. Very suitable to make an aroma more round and complete
To create a romantic mood, try blending it with the other great aphrodisiacs
- Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vetiver, etc.
History
It takes 60,000 rose blossoms, picked in the early hours of dawn as
they are unfolding, to gain 1 oz. of Rose Essential Oil. The harvest
is rushed to the distiller and the oil crafted immediately.
The origin of the Rose can be found in ancient Persian gardens, and
Persians were the first to distill Rose water from the petals. According
to legend, the Rose Essential Oil was discovered when Nour-Djihan, a
Persian princess, married Mogul Emperor Dhihanguyr. The canals around
the wedding party had been filled with rose water (imagine!!), and as
her and her lover enjoyed the waters in a small boat she noticed a thin
film on its surface - Rose Essential Oil.
Its aroma has been
interlaced with human history ever since, lending its radiance and grace
to perfumes and inspiring poets and lovers.
Specific
Safety Information
No known toxicity. GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe) approved by the
FDA as food flavor. Some sources recommend not using Rose oil in the
first 4 months of pregnancy - most likely because it is a well-known
oil for supporting the time of birth.
Latin Name
Rosa centifolia (Rose absolute)
Country
of Origin
Morocco
Description
"Rosy" floral, rich and sweet, well-rounded and delicious.
Moroccan Rose Oil is extracted via a solvent, which yields approx. 6-7
times more oil and results in a lower price. Some Aromatherapists are
concerned that the solvent extraction may compromise certain components
of the oil. However, since the solvents are completely removed after
extraction and produce a very beautiful, esthetic oil, many also do
not think that Rose Absolute is inferior to steam distilled oils.
To the contrary, the absolute does contain additional aromatic components
that are not present in a distilled oil.
Once you have smelled
the genuine Rose Essential Oil you will never again be willing to accept
a synthetic Rose fragrance as replacement. Whereas the Rose plant has
produced an aroma out of many hundred components, synthetic scent merely
reproduces the most dominant ingredients, missing out on the subtle
refinement of genuine Rose Oil.
The potency and
incredible fragrancing power of Rose Essential Oil make it a great investment,
even though it is one of the pricier oils. If you find it hard to dose
the pure oil correctly (it is incredibly strong and intense!), or shy
away from the cost, start with Essential Oils blended with Jojoba Oil,
classified as "i/J" ("in Jojoba").
