What Is Rose Essential Oil?

0

Rose essential oil is a concentrated oil that contains aroma compounds from the rose flower, with the compounds extracted from the petals by distillation. The word “essential” is used because the oil carries the scent, or essence, of the plant. The process of making rose essential oil is complex, making it very expensive. This essential oil commonly is used in aromatherapy to aid in depression, stress and other problems. It also is used in perfume and as fragrance in soaps, creams and toiletries. Distillation usually is done in two phases so that all traces of the rose oil can be extracted from the flower. The first distillation phase yields a large amount of rose flower water and a small quantity of concentrated green essential oil. Some companies will sell the rose water. Rose water is cheaper than the oil, but it is more abundant and easier to produce.
