How is 100% natural rose oil made?
Rose oil is one of the most precious beauty elixirs in the world. Known for its hydrating, regenerating and soothing properties, this ingredient is a must-have in skin and hair care. But do you know how this precious oil is made? Today, we reveal to you the secrets of making rose oil, made with care and passion in Morocco, in the High Atlas.
Harvesting Rose Petals
The journey of rose oil begins with harvesting roses. Damask roses, known for their intense fragrance and their many beneficial properties, are lovingly cultivated in the Moroccan High Atlas. The harvests are done at dawn, when the flowers are still covered in dew, to capture all their essence and freshness. The petals are picked by hand with great care to preserve their quality.
The Extraction Process: The Alchemy of Nature
Step 1: Preparing the Petals
Once picked, the rose petals are carefully sorted to remove impurities. This step is crucial to ensure that only the purest and freshest petals are used.
Step 2: Extraction by Enfleurage
Rose oil extraction is a delicate and painstaking process that can be carried out by different methods. One of the most respectful traditional methods is enfleurage. Here's how it works:
-
Arrangement of the Petals : The rose petals are spread in thin layers on frames covered with odorless grease (often of vegetable origin).
-
Absorption of Essential Oils : The fat gradually absorbs the essential oils of the rose petals. This process can take several days, during which the petals are regularly replaced with fresh ones.
-
Extraction of the Absolute : Once the fat is saturated with rose oil, it is dissolved in alcohol. The alcohol dissolves the essential oils, and by evaporating the alcohol, we obtain pure rose essential oil.
Step 3: Distillation (Optional)
In some modern methods, steam distillation can be used to extract essential oil from rose petals. This method is similar to that used to produce rose water, but it focuses on extracting the pure essential oil.
The Benefits of 100% Natural Rose Oil
The rose oil obtained by these traditional methods is 100% pure and natural. Here are some of its extraordinary benefits:
- Intense Hydration : Rose oil penetrates deep into the skin, leaving it soft, supple and hydrated.
- Cellular Regeneration : Thanks to its antioxidant properties, it helps regenerate skin cells, reducing the signs of aging.
- Soothing : It calms irritation and inflammation, perfect for sensitive or damaged skin.
