Rose & Rose Geranium Oils: Floral Fragrance Without the Hype

The quick answer
Rose and rose geranium ingredients are valued for their floral scent character in fragrance and soap. They should not be promised to treat depression, acne, scarring or infections in ordinary cosmetics.
5 Minute Read
Rose and rose geranium essential oils are like nature’s gift to us all. These fragrant and aromatic oils are packed full of benefits for the body, skin, and mind. From being nature’s antidepressant to working as powerful antimicrobial and antibacterial agents, it’s no wonder why they’re used in so many products!
Let’s find out more about some of the amazing products that I’ve created with these wonderful oils.

A Brief History of Rose & Rose Geranium Oils
A lot of historical evidence points in the direction of the Mediterranean as the birthing grounds for rose and rose geranium oils – more specifically, Greece. It’s believed that ancient Greeks began using rose petals and as well as rose oil in their bath water. However, roses were predominantly grown in the Middle East at the time. People of this region would compress the plant in order to extract its oil. This oil would then be used as the base of many different fragrances. Soon, Queens around the world would begin using these essential oils in their skincare routines, and rose bushes were a must for any lady of leisure’s garden for this very reason.

The Powerful Mental Benefits of Rose & Rose Geranium
The sweet floral notes of rose and rose geranium have the ability to melt all of your stress away. Their calming effects are incredibly powerful for anyone who suffers from excessive stress, worry, or anxiety. Roses are also traditionally given on Valentine’s Day because of the aphrodisiac properties that the plant possesses.

Rose and geranium are some of my favorite flower scents. So subtle but lovely. I tried your bath soak and it was fantastic!
I feel like rose is sometimes associated with the older generation and not as modern, but I think that scent is classic and elegant. Who doesn’t love smelling a rose? It’s literally a saying!
