Why Is Rose Oil So Good In Skin Creams?
Rosa Damascena, found in Bulgaria, is one of the rarest rose essential oils, is extracted from the Damask Rose, and is the most concentrated of the rose itself. Taking tens of thousands of rose petals to make less than 30ml of Rose oil, it is one of the most expensive essential oils, but only a few drops are needed to reap the enormous benefits.
Rose oil has excellent emollient properties to help moisturise skin, but its therapeutic benefits go much further.
