According to Julia Lawless in The Encyclopedia of Essential Oils (2014), ancient Persia is thought to be the birthplace of the cultivated rose. Producing just 10 mls of rose essential oil requires around 40 kilos of rose petals, making rose one of the most expensive essential oils. I prefer to use Rosa Damascena, which is harvested in May and June from the Valley of the Roses, a mountainous area in Bulgaria.
Genuine rose oil, in contrast to the artificial version commonly used in perfumes, has a sweet, floral fragrance with a spicy undertone. As an aromatherapist I use it for affairs of the heart - I have found that its deeply comforting aroma is helpful for grief and bereavement especially.
When it comes to skincare, this Queen of Oils is second to none. Because it has exceptional softening and moisturizing properties, I incorporate it into my natural facial massage routine for a rejuvenating effect. It aids in diminishing redness and puffiness when combined with Sandalwood and Geranium, and blended into Apricot Oil. Apricot oil is readily absorbed by the skin and rich in vitamins A, C, and E. Vitamin E enhances collagen production, crucial for skin health.
For more than ten years, I have been creating and using this gorgeous skincare product.
