Extracted from the fresh petals of the Rosa damascena flower cultivated in Bulgaria, Zurma’s Rose Absolute is a highly concentrated botanical aromatic. Because fragile rose petals yield very little aromatic material through traditional steam distillation, solvent extraction is utilised to capture the complete olfactory profile of the plant. This precise extraction method produces a deep red to orange viscous liquid with a rich, complex, and deeply sweet floral aroma, underscored by subtle honey and mild spice notes. Within clinical aromatherapy and natural perfumery, Rose Absolute functions as a highly active botanical ingredient. It acts as an effective emotional balancer for the central nervous system and serves as an industry-standard middle note for anchoring fine botanical fragrances.

Skincare Ritual & Well-being Applications: The complex chemical profile of Bulgarian Rose Absolute is widely documented in clinical literature for its mild astringent (tissue-toning) and nervine (nervous system supporting) properties [1]. For targeted dermal support, diluting this absolute at 1% to 2% in a nourishing carrier oil provides a highly effective, soothing application for mature, dry, or reactive skin types, actively supporting the moisture retention of the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin) [2]. For atmospheric application, diffusing 1–2 drops cultivates a deeply grounding environment; it serves as a reliable aromatic tool for reducing the physical manifestations of daily stress and harmonising emotional responses.

Formulation & Safety Guidelines:
Application: Designed for targeted cosmetic formulation, fine natural perfumery, and therapeutic ambient scenting.

Dermal Limits & Clinical Safety:
According to authoritative clinical texts, Rosa damascena absolute contains trace levels of methyleugenol (a naturally occurring volatile constituent). To adhere to standard dermal safety guidelines, a maximum cosmetic dilution of 2.5% in a suitable lipid carrier is recommended for leave-on topical applications to avoid acquired sensitisation (allergic skin reactions) [3].

Storage & Degradation:
To preserve the highly complex floral compounds and prevent oxidation, ensure the bottle is kept tightly closed. Store in a cool, dark environment away from direct UV exposure and extreme temperature fluctuations. As absolute extracts are thicker than standard essential oils, they may solidify slightly in cold temperatures; warming the bottle gently in your hands will return the extract to a fully liquid state.

Critical Warnings:
For external cosmetic and atmospheric use only. Do not ingest under any circumstances. Do not apply undiluted directly to the skin. If you are pregnant, nursing, or managing specific medical conditions, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner prior to regular application.

Zurma Essential & Absolute 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.

General Essential Oil Safety Recommendations
Do not take essential oils internally unless under advisement by a qualified medical professional.
Do not use essential oils undiluted on the skin. It is always best to try a small patch test first of the diluted essential oil.
People who are pregnant or have serious medical problems are advised to consult with a qualified aromatherapy practitioner before using essential oils.
Use extreme caution when using essential oils with children. It is safest to consult with a qualified aromatherapy practitioner before using essential oils with children.
