Origin: a Latin derivative

Rosa damascena, more commonly known as the Damask rose, is a small shrub with thorny stems. Originally from the Syrian capital Damascus, it is highly sought after for its many properties. Before the sun crests the horizon in Bulgaria, workers can be found in fields harvesting the delicate bloom of the Rosa damascena.
The labor-intensive production process has a very low yield; takes more than 10,000 freshly picked rose blossoms to produce only one 5mL bottle of Rose essential oil. Because the petals are so delicate, the distillation process must happen the same day that the flower is harvested. From this labor comes an essential oil known for its sweet floral aroma, beautiful and romantic. Apply topically in daily skin care routines.
Topical Use: Mix 1-2 drops with 10 drops of doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil for Skin Care and apply on desired areas for skin care, or mix with daily skin care regimen and apply on skin.
