About skin & face oil
Why so few drops?
Face oils stay around 1%, and rose otto stays at 0.6% or less on skin. 3 drops in 30 ml is 0.5%.
Is this the same as Rosehip oil?
No. Rosehip is the carrier: a light oil from rose hips with almost no scent. Rose Otto gives the rose scent.
Can I use it in the morning?
Yes, under sunscreen. 3 to 4 drops covers the whole face.
About massage & bath
Can I add rose otto straight to my bath?
No. Essential oils don't mix with water and sit on top in neat drops. Mix them into a carrier oil first, then add a tablespoon of the mix.
Is it OK when pregnant?
Avoid Clary Sage when pregnant or breastfeeding. Use 3 drops of Rose Otto in Argan alone instead.
Will the bath be slippery?
A little. Rinse the tub after and take care getting out.
About perfume & roll-on blends
Why only one drop of rose otto?
On skin, rose otto stays at 0.6% or less. One drop in 10 ml is 0.5%, and rose carries well even at that.
How many drops are in the bottle?
The 10 ml bottle of Rose Otto holds about 200 drops. Each roll-on uses 1.
Can I make a spray instead?
Yes. Mix the same drops into perfumer's alcohol or vodka instead of Jojoba, and shake before each use.
About soap & candle making
How much essential oil goes in soap?
About 2% for melt-and-pour: 4 ml of oils in 200 g of base. Rose Otto stays at 1 ml of that, which is 0.5%.
Why add Egyptian Geranium?
Egyptian Geranium is rosy too, so it carries the rose scent further in soap and candles. 1 ml of Rose Otto is then enough for a batch.
Is it safe to burn a candle with essential oils?
Burn it in a ventilated room, never leave it lit alone, and keep it away from children and pets.
Everything else
Which rose is this?
Rosa damascena, the damask rose, from Turkey.
Can I put it straight on my skin?
No. Mix it into a carrier oil first, at 0.6% or less, and patch test on your inner arm 24 hours before.
Which size should I pick?
Most people pick Complete. Routines over $50 ship free, and over $75 they also get a free Eucalyptus. The Starter is the three items one recipe needs; the Collection adds two more.
Do I save when I buy more than one?
Yes, on everything in your cart: 2 items 10% off, 3 to 5 items 15% off, 6 or more 20% off. It's applied automatically.
When does my order ship free?
When the products in your cart come to $50 or more after discounts. A free Eucalyptus is added at $75 and a free Lemon at $95. Shipping Protection doesn't count toward these.
What if I don't like it?
Love it or your money back within 30 days.
