Rose Essential Oil

Rose (Rosa damascena) essential oil boasts a beautiful, strong floral and sweet fragrance that is intoxicating and highly romantic. It helps to bring balance and harmony with stimulating and uplifting properties that create a sense of well-being and self-confidence. Used in skin care for thousands of years, it is perfect for dry or aging skin.

Rose essential oil is commonly advocated as an aromatherapy remedy for a number of health concerns including anxiety, depression, headaches, menopausal symptoms, menstrual cramps, and migraines. Additionally, rose essential oil is said to enhance libido, reduce stress, stimulate circulation, sharpen memory, and boost mood.

When applied directly to the skin, products containing rose essential oil are purported to hydrate dry skin, clear acne, reduce signs of aging, minimize the appearance of scars, and help with conditions such as eczema and rosacea.

Rose essential oil, when combined with a carrier oil (such as jojoba, sweet almond, or avocado), can be applied directly to the skin or added to baths in very small amounts. The oil can also be inhaled after sprinkling a drop or two onto a cloth or tissue, or by using an aromatherapy diffuser or vaporizer.
