Description and Uses: Our organic Rose Essential Oil is pure undiluted Rose Oil extracted by Enfleurage. Most Rose Oil is extracted by harsh chemical solvents and is therefore called an "absolute" (Rose Absolute). Other Rose Oil is extracted by very low pressure / low temperature steam distillation and is called Rose Otto or Rose Attar. While our Rose Oil is technically an absolute, it is most rare, coming from a small grower/extractor in South America. The entire process of extracting our South American Rose oil it done by hand using no heat and no harsh chemical solvents to produce a fine Rose Absolute.
Pure local palm oil is used to absorb the aromatic oils from the Rose flower petals and once the palm oil is completely saturated with the essence of the Rose flower then the palm oil is separated from the Rose oil by cane sugar alcohol which is then evaporated to leave only the Rose oil. The process for producing the Rose Essential Oil by Enfleurage is quite labor intensive and requires many pounds of Rose flower petals per ml of oil but the results are astounding. If you close your eyes and inhale the aroma of the oil, you'll find that the the smell to be quite similar to that of the actual Rose flower.

More Info: This Rose Absolute (produced by Enfleurage) should not be confused with our Bulgarian Rose Otto (steamed distilled). Each has its own distinctive aroma with the Enfleurage Rose Oil having a lighter aroma while the Rose Otto's is a bit deeper and earthier.
The Rose petals are picked up very early in the morning while the morning dew is still on them, gathered and transported to the enfleurage facility as quickly as possible. The quantity of flowers picked up for the day is closely matched to the amount that can be processed in one day since if the flowers are not kept fresh they begin to deteriorate and the precious volatile oil evaporates and loses quality.
Rose essential oil / rose absolute is one of the most precious oils in the world and known for its heavenly aroma and fragrance. During the extraction process, fresh, fully opened flowers are plucked from the Rose plant and carefully laid on trays covered with a layer of palm oil. The essential oils from the flower petals slowly migrate to the palm oil and the process is repeated until the palm oil is completely saturated with the oil of the Rose. Then the Rose oil is separated from the palm oil by alcohol which then evaporated leaving only the pure Rose oil, i.e., Rose Essential Oil / Rose Absolute.
Enfleurage was the traditional method of extraction used into the early 20th century but solvent extraction using hexane has virtually replaced enfleurage, except, of course, for our own Rose Essential Oil. Solvent extracted Rose Oil, called an "absolute", is used extensively by the perfume industry but, again, not by us (no chemicals other than alcohol made from organic sugar cane are used to extract the Rose Essential Oil that we sell). All three methods (distilling, enfleurage or solvent extraction) are time consuming and oil yields are quite small for the amount of rose petals used. Now, the most commonly found Rose used by the perfume industry is entirely synthetic and has no healing properties whatsoever. Natural Rose perfume is often enjoyed as a single-flower oil with its rich, warm, heady floral aroma.
The pure, undiluted Rose Essential oil that results from this process is absolutely the finest Rose Oil available. Rose Essential Oil is a warm, intense, immensely rich fragrance. One of the oldest and best known of all essential oils, Rose Oil is used in all types of perfumes to lend beauty and depth to the aroma. A drop or two in a massage, facial, or bath oil creates a luxurious, soothing experience. Rose oil is also used in skin creams, powders, and lotions. Romantic, creative, gently cheering oil. A drop or two of pure rose oil on the skin can make a delightful single note rose perfume.
Our Pure Rose Absolute is a yellow to yellow-green oil which tends to solidify into a translucent mass at temperatures below 20°C. The aroma is warm, floral, specifically dense, fine with honey notes.
