Pure Rose Essential Oil 2ml (Rosa Damascena) 100 Pure Natural

PURE  ROSE ESSENTIAL  OIL ( Rosa Damascena)

True, unadulterated, and pure rose essential oil (Rosa damascena) is actually pretty hard to find. In almost all cases you will find a highly diluted oil, usually no more than0.1% rose oil in a base of oil (or even alcohol), or a rose absolute. This is because of the high cost of extracting rose, an oil extraction through the steam distillation of its petals. (Did you know it takes 12,000 petals to produce one single 5ml bottle of rose oil??) Despite these obstacles it's still highly coveted and a much loved oil, both for its aroma and its benefits. Its true aroma is rich, floral, sensual, and oooooh so heavenly.

Rose oil is extracted from the fresh flowers, picked before 8 am in the morning, by steam distillation and the yield is 0.02 -0.05 %. The heat used in the distillation process is carefully controlled, as the aroma can be damaged if the heat is too high.

It takes about 60,000 roses (about 180 lb) to make one ounce ( 29.57 ml) of rose oil - or to put in a different way 40,000 kilograms to make 1 liter of rose oil.
