What Is Rose Oil? 

Rose oil, also referred to as rose otto or rose absolute, is a highly concentrated essential oil extracted from rose petals. It has been celebrated for centuries for its ability to alleviate various skin concerns, such as dryness and inflammation, securing its place as a sought-after ingredient in premium beauty products.

Rich in nourishing compounds like esters, alcohols, and terpenes, rose oil boasts antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties. (1) 

This precious oil is abundant in vitamins A, C, and E, vital components for maintaining a healthy complexion and shielding your skin from environmental stressors, such as UV rays and pollution.

Beyond its remarkable skincare benefits, rose oil's soothing aroma promotes tranquility, relaxation, and emotional well-being. (2)

When looking for quality rose oil, it’s best to look for something that is organic and cold pressed rather than overly processed and reduced down. 

Choosing Cold Press? Why Organic, Cold Press Products Matter 


Oils are becoming increasingly popular due to their potential increase in antioxidant capacity, especially if choosing a cold pressed product.  

This means no additives and little processing – leaving all important nutrients responsible for healing. 

Just like the health benefits your body receives from extra virgin olive oil, face oils that are cold pressed maintain all of the vital nutrients and antioxidants because the seeds, kernels and berries were carefully extracted of their oil to maintain their vitality. 

Cold pressed oils are unrefined, making them the ideal ingredient for non-toxic products that provide your skin with maximum nourishment and protection. Cold press oils also:

  • Require no chemicals: No solvents or additives which makes for a cleaner product free of irritants
  • Retain vital nutrients: Vitamins, enzymes, antioxidants and essential fatty acids often lost in chemical processing are preserved when cold pressed. 
  • Have a higher absorption rate: Lightweight with a smaller molecular structure, cold pressed oils are more easily absorbed into the skin for deep moisture and long-lasting hydration. 
  • Benefits all skin types: There’s a variety of cold pressed oils available to treat whatever your skin type and condition – from acne-prone to sensitive to mature skin. 

How Do You Use Rose Oil?

Incorporating rose oil into your daily skincare ritual is a simple yet luxurious experience. Using rose oil on its own is lovely but finding a blended face oil with rose oil in it can be very powerful and soothing for the skin. 

  1. Begin by cleansing your face with a gentle, natural cleanser. 
  2. Apply a few drops of rose oil to your fingertips, and gently massage the oil into your skin using circular motions.
  3. Ensure even coverage across your face, avoiding the sensitive eye area. 

Sacred Tips: A few tips on how to best maximize your rose oil use. 

  • To Moisturize & Target: Rose oil can be used as a moisturizer, serum, or targeted spot treatment. Apply it before your moisturizer when using as a serum, or directly to blemishes and areas of concern for targeted care. 
  • To Create A Spa Experience: For an extra nourishing experience, add a few drops of rose oil to your favorite face mask or facial scrub. You can also add rose oil to a bath, or into a diffuser to create a relaxing at home spa experience.

Mitigates Menstrual Discomfort

Rose oil's antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties alleviate menstrual cramps and muscle spasms, while its hormone-regulating and calming effects reduce PMS symptoms. Apply it topically to the abdomen or use it in aromatherapy to soothe menstrual discomfort.


Known Side Effects Of Using Rose Oil

While rose oil offers numerous benefits, it may also cause mild, temporary side effects such as skin irritation, redness, and burning. To avoid adverse reactions, especially for sensitive skin, test a small amount on your skin before applying it to your face. 

Some individuals may be allergic to rose oil, so monitor for signs of irritation. Rose oil may also cause photosensitivity, so avoid direct sunlight exposure after application.


Rose Oil vs. Rosehip Oil

Both rose oil and rosehip oil come from the rose plant, but they differ in composition and uses:

  • Rose Oil is produced by steam distilling rose petals, producing essential oil rich in aromatic compounds. It is commonly used in skin and hair care products, perfumes, and aromatherapy for its calming and soothing properties. (2)
  • Rosehip Oil, created by cold pressing rose plant seeds, contains essential fatty acids and antioxidants. Its moisturizing and anti-aging properties make it a popular skincare ingredient, known to aid in healing scars, stretch marks, and other skin conditions. (4)

Rose Oil Is Used In Aromatherapy 

Rose oil's warm, soothing scent promotes relaxation and a sense of peace, making it ideal for aromatherapy. (2) 

Use it in diffusers, massage oils, and bath soaks to benefit from its anxiety, depression, and insomnia-relieving properties.

FAQs

Can you put rose oil directly on your skin?

Does rose oil clog pores? 

No, rose oil doesn't clog pores; it helps reduce pore size with its astringent properties and diminishes wrinkles and fine lines.


Is rose oil safe around the eyes? 

Yes, rose oil is safe around the eyes. Use a small amount, apply gently, and avoid getting it in your eyes.


Does rose oil replace moisturizer?

Rose oil can act as a moisturizer but shouldn't replace your regular one. Use it as a supplement to your moisturizing routine, or better yet find a blended face oil with rose as an ingredient.


Does rose oil get rid of wrinkles?

Rose oil helps diminish wrinkles and fine lines by hydrating and nourishing the skin, and promoting collagen production.
