How it’s created
Rose oil, derived from the delicate petals of Damask Roses, is a highly prized and potent essential oil known for its rich fragrance and therapeutic properties. However, its potency and concentration necessitate dilution for practical use. Jojoba oil is chosen as a carrier oil for diluting rose oil due for several reasons.
Firstly, jojoba oil is structurally similar to the sebum naturally produced by our skin, which makes it particularly skin-friendly and non-irritating. This compatibility ensures that the rose oil, when diluted with jojoba oil, can be safely applied to the skin without causing adverse reactions, making it ideal for cosmetic and skincare products.
Secondly, jojoba oil is relatively odourless and has a light texture. This mildness allows it to carry the rose oil without overpowering its delicate scent or altering its therapeutic qualities. The light texture of jojoba oil also aids in better absorption of the rose oil into the skin, enhancing its efficacy.
Additionally, jojoba oil is known for its own beneficial properties, including its moisturising and anti-inflammatory effects. When used as a carrier for rose oil, it not only dilutes the concentration but also adds its own benefits to the blend, creating a complimentary effect that enhances the overall therapeutic value.

Rose oil dilution has a number of uses. These include:
Apply topically: Since the rose oil has already been diluted into the jojoba carrier oil, you can use this topically without concern about skin sensitivity issues. This can be applied directly to any imperfections on the skin or used in other areas of the body to help tackle dry skin problems.
Diffuse: You can also add this oil blend to your favourite diffuser to promote feelings of vitality and energy. Add a few drops to your diffuser at any time of the day.
Hair Treatment: You can also add this product to hair oil and massage into your scalp to improve scalp dryness and help tame frizzy hair.
Massage:
You can also use this oil as a massage oil to ease away the tension of a stressful day. Alternatively, you can add up to 10 drops into your bathtub for a relaxing soak.
