Real rose absolute. Pre-diluted and ready to use.
Pure rose absolute costs a small fortune. It takes roughly 10,000 pounds of Rosa Damascena petals to produce one pound of absolute. That's why the pure stuff runs $50 to $200 for a few milliliters. This bottle gives you the real thing, solvent-extracted from actual rose petals, diluted to 5% in organic jojoba oil so you can actually use it without wincing at the price.
The scent is unmistakable. Deep, honeyed, almost wine-like. Nothing like the synthetic rose fragrance you find in most products. This is the real flower, concentrated. A little goes a long way.
Why You'll Love the Rose Absolute | Rosa Damascena 5% in Jojoba Oil
- Ready to Use: The 5% dilution in jojoba means you can apply it directly to skin (patch test first) or add it straight to your diffuser. No carrier oil math required.
- Skincare Benefits: Rose absolute is known for helping balance skin's natural oils and calming redness. The jojoba base absorbs without feeling greasy.
- Perfume Blending: Rose works as a heart note or base note in DIY perfumes. It plays well with citrus, sandalwood, and other florals.
- Emotional Support: Traditionally used to ease stress and lift mood. The scent alone can shift the atmosphere of a room.
Key Ingredients
- Rosa Damascena Absolute
- Solvent-extracted from the petals of the Damask rose. The extraction method captures the full, complex scent profile that steam distillation can miss. Deep, honeyed, with a slight spice.
- Organic Jojoba Oil
- Technically a liquid wax, not an oil. Its structure is similar to human sebum, so it absorbs quickly and doesn't clog pores. The ideal carrier for precious absolutes.
Full Ingredients List
For aromatherapy, add 3-5 drops to your diffuser. For skincare, apply a drop or two to clean skin, focusing on dry or irritated areas. For perfume blending, start with just one drop and build from there. Rose is potent. If you have sensitive skin, do a patch test on your inner arm first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is this diluted instead of pure?
A: Pure rose absolute is extremely concentrated and extremely expensive. A 5ml bottle of undiluted absolute would cost $100 or more. Diluting to 5% in jojoba gives you the real scent and skincare benefits at a price that makes sense for regular use. The jojoba also makes it ready to apply directly.
Q: Can I use this on my face?
A: Yes, but patch test first. Apply a small amount to your inner arm and wait 24 hours. Rose absolute is generally gentle, but everyone's skin is different. If you're pregnant or nursing, check with your healthcare provider before using any essential oils.
Q: What's the difference between rose absolute and rose essential oil?
A: Extraction method. Rose essential oil is steam-distilled, which produces a lighter scent. Rose absolute is solvent-extracted, which captures more of the flower's complex aroma, including the deeper, honeyed notes that steam distillation misses. Both are real rose. Different character.
