Absolute Aromas Rose Absolute 5% Oil 10ml

Product Description

Rose has been highly prized for centuries. There are over 10000 types of cultivated rose many of which are extensively used in toiletries for both men & women. It is extremely difficult to extract oil from the petals of the rose. The two main ways are first solvent extraction of a concrete which is then produced into an absolute & second distillation to produce an essential oil. Production of an absolute gives a better yield but distillation gives a much finer fragrance. Rosa Centifolia & its close relatives are cultivated widely in Morocco to produce a rose concrete from which an absolute is extracted. The product is also known as rose de mai absolute. The yield of absolute from Rosa Centifolia is somewhat higher than for the Turkish & Bulgarian Rosa Damascena whereas the yield of the distilled oil is somewhat lower. Thus it is common to find the absolutes coming from Morocco & the distilled oils coming from Turkey & Bulgaria. The Rose Absolute used in this product is 100% pure & natural. For your convenience it has been diluted to 5% in Coconut Oil a wonderfully light moisturising oil. It can be used directly on the skin as a perfume or combined with other oils as a massage or bath blend. Try blending 6 drops of Rose Absolute 5% Dilution with 1 drop of Patchouli & 2 drops of Benzoin & add to the water for a warm pampering bath. Do not use in the first four months of pregnancy.
