Rose oil

Indeed, natural rose essential oil is produced solely on the basis of rose petals, or rather, the petals of a shrub that belongs to the Rosaceae family. Rose oil is one of the most expensive essential oils, the cost of which can reach up to a thousand rubles for just one milliliter of concentrate. This is due to the fact that about five tons of similar raw materials are needed to obtain 1 kilogram of rose oil. In other words, one single drop of rose essential oil requires processing thirty rose buds.

There is an opinion that raw materials for the manufacture of the highest quality rose oil grow in Bulgaria, while countries such as Turkey, Italy and Iran are slightly lower in rank. Collecting these fragrant flowers along with choosing where the rose grows requires a special approach. So, flowers (just blossomed) must be harvested even before sunrise by hand, but even after that they should not be stained and immediately sent for processing.

Rose oil can be used in a variety of areas of human life, including cooking (as a more expensive and concentrated analogue of rose water and essence), cosmetology, perfumes and medicine.

Composition of rose oil

In the composition of rose oil, which is a multicomponent mixture, there is a solid part (stearopten) and a liquid part (eleopten). The color of rose essential oil can vary from pale greenish to dark yellow, due to the distillation methods and the place where the raw materials grow.

By the way, at low ambient temperatures, rose oil can acquire a denser consistency, while more resembling fat. True, it should be said that this does not affect the beneficial properties of rose oil in any way - with an increase in temperature, it will again become liquid.
