Rose Otto Description and Uses:
This is pure, undiluted Rose Otto essential oil - absolutely the finest Rose oils available. Rose Otto has a warm, intense, immensely rich fragrance. One of the oldest and best known of all essential oils, Rose is used in all types of perfumes to lend beauty and depth to the aroma. A drop or two in a massage, facial, or bath oil creates a luxurious, soothing experience.
Rose oil is also used in skin creams, powders, and lotions. It is a romantic, creative, gently cheering oil. And yes, Rose essential oil is expensive, but with good reason: it takes around 60,000 roses to distill just one ounce of oil.
Note that true, steam-distilled essential oil will form clear or white crystals below 70 degrees F. At even cooler temperatures, the oil will solidify and become paste-like in consistency. This change will not affect the quality of the oil. To return it to a liquid state, simply roll the bottle between your palms, or place the bottle in a bowl of warm water.
