Rose Absolute Oil  

Rose oil is obtained from the petals of difference Rosa species especially Rosa centifolia L. and Rosa damascena Mill. Various pharmacological properties have been attributed to rose oil. Next to rose oil, rose absolute, rose water and rose concrete are important basic materials in cosmetic industries. For the production of 1 kg of rose oil 3500–4000 kilograms of rose flowers are necessary. Due to its expensive industrial production and also to high importance in the cosmetic industry, rose oil is often called “liquid gold”. The most common chemical compounds present in essential rose oil obtained from R. damascene are citronellol, geraniol, nerol, farnesol and androse oxide, which is a fragrance attributed to rose.

Rose Oil in Pharma

Rose Absolute oil is beneficial for all skin types but is especially valuable for sensitive, dry, inflamed or ageing skin. It has a stimulating, toning, balancing and rejuvenating effect on the complexion. It helps to soothe, moisture and reduce redness and inflammation, and may even help to reduce the appearance of broken or enlarged capillaries, known as thread veins. Rose oil is a powerful antidepressant and is useful for dealing with mental and emotional issues such as stress, anxiety, grief and loss. It is particularly valuable where the issues relate to the female reproductive system e.g. for mood swings and irritability related to PMS, PMT, menopause, and for post-natal depression. Rose is unique in its action on the female reproductive system and sexuality. It can help with irregular or heavy periods, soothe cramps, and may even aid conception by regulating the menstrual cycle. As a powerful aphrodisiac it can also assist with female frigidity and male impotence.

Essence of Rose Oil

Rose is a very popular fragrance in many cosmetics and creams, as well as perfumes, toilet preparations, lozenges, and toothpaste.

Rose essential oil, as well as the other various types of rose extracts, has been widely used in perfumery since ancient times. Because of this long, rich history, accounts vary about where exactly rose oil was first used as a fragrance, but it is widely believed that the first rose oil perfumes originated in Persia (present-day Iran).

Today the fragrance of the rose is still one of the most desired aromas in the perfume industry.  Rose oil is a fundamental ingredient in virtually all fine perfumes made by most famous perfumers, including Christian Dior, Givenchy, Lancôme, Bulgari, and Chanel (Omda, source). Because Rosa damascena is renowned for its fine fragrance, this species is the most widely used rose in perfumery.
