What It Does
Rosa Damascena Flower Oil is a precious essential oil obtained through steam distillation of Damask rose petals, requiring approximately 4,000 kg of fresh petals to produce just 1 kg of oil. This luxurious ingredient is valued not only for its exquisite, complex floral aroma but also for its skin-soothing properties, containing over 300 chemical compounds including citronellol, geraniol, and nerol that provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Formulators choose this oil for premium skincare products where both sensory elegance and functional skin benefits are desired, though its high cost typically limits usage to 0.1-1% in formulations.
