Oil Blog — Rose

As the sun rises over the dew-covered fields surrounding Kazanlak, Bulgaria, it reveals rows upon rows of blossoming rose bushes. Between each row, harvesters carefully pick the blossoms. Each person has a rose in their hair—a lasting tradition being to tuck the first rose of the day behind the ear.

Known as the “Queen of Oils”, dōTERRA’s Rose is one of the more rare essential oils. Due to the delicate bloom of the shrub, Rosa damascene, the labor-intensive production process takes more than 10,000 handpicked rose blossoms to produce one 5ml bottle.
