Should you or shouldn't you buy it.

Due to the high price of rose essential oils, many people are not willing to pay. But even with their prohibitive price, rose oils are still perhaps the most widely used in aromatherapy and the most essential oils that people looked for.

What makes the price of rose essential oils so expensive?

Imagine that to produce 1 pound of rose essential oils, you will need 5000 pounds of fresh rose petal. And to harvest, you need to do that before sunrise, otherwise their oil content will diminish later in the day. All the petal will extracted by steam distillation.

And that is why their scent is so potent. Just 1 or 2 drops in aroma lamp will change the whole room's atmosphere.

Did you Know? Did you know that it takes 60,000 fresh roses (200 pounds) to make one ounce of rose essential oil? That equals 30 roses for every single drop! It's no wonder that rose essential oil is so expensive. To offset the high costs, many suppliers dilute the essential oil by mixing it with less expensive rose geranium essential oil. When purchasing the oil, you will want to make sure that you are buying it from a reputable supplier. Even though the precious essential oil is expensive, a little goes a long way and it smells absolutely divine! View Rose Essential Oil
