Description
Rose oil is extracted from the petals of the Damask rose through a process called steam distillation. The petals are typically harvested early in the morning before the heat of the day causes the scent to evaporate. The petals are then placed in a still and steam is passed through them, causing the oil to be released and collected.
The main active components of rose oil are various terpenes, including citronellol, geraniol, and nerol, as well as a range of other aromatic compounds. These compounds are responsible for the characteristic fragrance and therapeutic properties of rose oil.
Rose oil is used in a variety of ways, including as a fragrance in perfumes and cosmetics, as well as in aromatherapy for its relaxing and mood-enhancing properties. It is also believed to have a range of health benefits, including its ability to soothe skin irritations, reduce inflammation, and promote wound healing. It may also have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, although further research is needed to fully understand these potential benefits.
