Antique Rose Essential Oil Blend

Expertly crafted to capture the beautifully complex, multi-layered aromatic profile of traditional heritage roses, Zurma’s Antique Rose Botanical Blend is a remarkable, cost-effective alternative to pure Rose Absolute. Free from synthetic fragrances and chemical additives, this exquisite synergy is designed to deliver a robust, authentic floral heart note. It achieves its deeply nostalgic scent through a meticulous combination of premium Rosa damascena natural isolates—which supply the enduring core rose aroma—and the strategic inclusion of Geranium Rose essential oil. This addition not only grounds the blend but introduces a fresh, slightly green diffusion that beautifully mimics the scent of blooming Roses in a lush garden.

In holistic skincare and natural perfumery, Antique Rose serves as a highly effective, accessible substitute for traditional Rose Otto or Absolute. It allows formulators and home enthusiasts alike to integrate the profound emotional warmth and comforting sweetness of rose into bespoke cosmetic creations, luxurious body oils, and room sprays without compromising on quality or authenticity. In ambient diffusion, it acts as a deeply soothing emotional tonic, easing tension and cultivating a space of pure, romantic comfort.

Formulation Note: This blend is a highly concentrated botanical material containing naturally occurring dermal allergens (specifically geraniol, citronellol, and linalool). For any topical application—whether in a natural perfume, a facial serum, or a body lotion—it must be properly diluted. We recommend a standard dilution of 1–2% in a suitable high-quality carrier oil (such as Jojoba, Sweet Almond, or Rosehip) to maintain skin barrier integrity and comply with general dermal safety standards.

Storage: To preserve the delicate floral isolates and the fresh botanical notes, ensure the bottle is kept tightly closed. Store in a cool, dark environment away from direct UV exposure and extreme heat.

Critical Safety Warnings:
- Never apply undiluted to the skin. Do not apply to broken, inflamed, or highly irritated skin.

- Contraindications: Individuals who are hapū (pregnant), breastfeeding, or managing specific medical conditions should consult a qualified healthcare professional prior to use.

- Paediatric Use: Exercise high caution when formulating for children; consult a certified practitioner for appropriate, safe dilution ratios.

- Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin to monitor for erythema or irritation before applying your final diluted product to larger areas.

 

Zurma Essential Oils - Highest Quality Pure and Natural
At Zurma we go to great lengths to ensure that we only sell the highest quality pure and natural essential oils. We have searched the world for the best essential oils. Our in-house quality control system ensures that this high standard is maintained for all our essential oils. Every essential oil comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Gas Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer (GCMS) test to confirm that they are genuine and authentic essential oils containing their correct active constituents.

The only exception to this is with the New Zealand small scale essential oil producers we buy direct from e.g., Lavender, Mānuka, Kānuka, Tea Tree etc. This is because we know and trust these growers who distil their own essential oils.

Finally, all essential oils have to undergo our own in-house smell, appearance and feel test and if they are not up to our high standards, we simply send the product back to the supplier. Based on this quality control process we believe that the 100% Pure and Natural essential oils that Zurma supplies to our customers are of the highest quality and are excellent for use in aromatherapy.
