A rose flower may signify love, romance or beauty.
While there are thousands of species of rose, the species of Rose that I use in my practice and products, and will be referring to in this blog is Rosa damascena. This species is also known as Bulgarian rose, Turkish rose or rose otto.
No other rose oil compares when it comes to treating emotional, physical, or skin care issues.
Fresh rose petals are steam distilled to make the essential oil. Steam distillation is important because the alternative is to have the oil extracted using a solvent. For my uses, I avoid this type of extraction whenever possible.
To get one single drop of rose essential oil fresh petals from thirty roses are needed. This explains the preciousness and expense of the oil.
The current market rate for this quality pure and therapeutic rose is $56.00 for a 2 ml bottle. That is $1.40 for a single tiny drop of this oil; and worth every single penny.
This rose oil is unparalleled when treating womanly issues. It is known to purify and regulate female sexual organs; harmonizes hormones, corrects the menstrual cycle and relieves cramps, fortifies the uterus.
Rose oil is fantastic for all skin types. A hydrating, emollient, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory oil; rose is known to treat skin redness and broken capillaries.
Emotionally, rose is a comforting oil. It helps with concentration and creativity while bringing happiness and peace to the user. Helps to alleviate feelings of emptiness, grief, depression, insomnia and stress.
A co-product of rose oil distillation is the rose water hydrosol. I use this hydrosol for many of the same therapies as the oil. It is a fantastic skin toner and wrinkle fighter.
Rosa damascena can be found in all of my A Dozen Roses line of products; lip softening balm, luxurious complexion and body bar, light moisturizer and whipped body lotion. It is also available in my Geisha product line for mature skin, a few of my night cremes, and my entire Combination Skin Care Line.
Welcome! I'm Stephanie, founder of Spoiled Rotten Bath and Body Boutique. I am a trained clinical aromatherapist and novice herbalist who enjoys sharing information about aromatherapy and herbs in an easy to read and understand format.
I started SRBBB with a basket of soaps and scrubs that I sold in the teacher's lounge when I was teaching. With the encouragement of friends, family and customers, over the years, I have gradually added more and more products.
I opened my first online store in 2001. I continue to sell in my own online store as well as five online sites for hand crafted items. I also sell locally at farmer's markets, craft shows and art fairs. My products can be found in yoga studios, gift shops, day spas, hair salons, holistic medical and dermatologist's offices.
As my children have grown older, and we have encountered skin issues like eczema and acne, my research into these areas and has also grown.
As I have grown older, my products have grown up too. I now offer a variety of natural aromatherapy skin care products for anti-aging. These are my favorite products to research and formulate.
Actually, I like to formulate anything that will help someone!
My products are 100% natural. That means every single ingredient is from nature. No man-made chemicals, fragrance oils or preservatives. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Most of my ingredients are Vegan. I do offer a few products that contain cow's &/or goat's milk, beeswax and honey. These products are clearly marked.
All of my ingredients are certified organic, organically grown or wild crafted & unsprayed.
Every single essential oil I use is intelligently selected. I have been trained in the chemistry of essential oils and choose essential oils for there therapeutic benefits.
I purchase only 100% pure, undiluted, therapeutic, and organically grown oils from trusted aromatherapists who import their oils straight from the distillers. When possible, I import straight from the distiller myself.
