Rosa Damascena: A Legacy of Beauty and Botanicals

Rosa Damascena

Do you want skincare that not only feels luxurious but also genuinely supports your skin’s health? Have you experienced dryness, irritation, or lacklustre results from over-complicated routines or synthetic-heavy formulas? Even with the best intentions, your skin can struggle without the right balance of nourishment and care. If you’re seeking products that deliver visible results while staying close to nature, Elarose offers a refined and effective solution.

What Makes Bulgarian Rose Oil So Special?

Bulgarian Rose Oil—extracted from the petals of Rosa Damascena—is one of the rarest and most prized essential oils in the world. For over 300 years, it has been cultivated in Bulgaria’s Rose Valley, a region celebrated for producing oil of unmatched purity, potency, and aroma.

 

But this isn’t just about fragrance—Bulgarian Rose Oil is a complex, bioactive ingredient, rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and over 280 unique compounds, each contributing to its therapeutic benefits for the skin.

The process of extracting Rose Oil and using it for Comestic products!

The Rose Valley: Nature’s Perfect Alchemy

The Rose Valley, located near the town of Kazanlak, is more than a picturesque region it's a natural distillery crafted by the earth itself.

 

  1. The climate: Cool, dewy mornings and warm, dry afternoons create ideal oil-producing conditions.
  2. The soil: Rich in minerals and nutrients that nourish the Rosa Damascena bushes.
  3. The altitude: Between 300 – 500 metres above sea level perfect for slow, oil-rich flowering.

The result is a uniquely high-yield and high-quality rose oil, not found anywhere else on Earth.

The Distillation Process: A Delicate Science

To produce rose oil, timing and precision are everything:

 

  1. Harvested at Dawn: The roses are picked by hand in the early hours of the morning, when the petals are freshest and oil content is highest
  2. Steam Distillation: Within hours, the petals are placed into traditional copper stills. Through gentle steam distillation, the volatile compounds are carefully extracted.
  3. Separation: The distillation yields both rose oil and rose water. Rose oil floats on top and is collected drop by drop  pure, golden, and powerfully aromatic.

 

It takes approximately 3,000–4,000 kilograms of rose petals to produce just 1 kilogram of Bulgarian rose oil. That’s why it’s often referred to as “liquid gold”.

Bulgarian Rose Oil in Skincare: How It Works

Unlike synthetic fragrances or filler oils, Bulgarian Rose Oil is bio-compatible with the skin, which means it delivers real, measurable benefits:

 

Antioxidant Rich: Protects against free radicals that cause ageing and dullness.

 

Natural Antiseptic: Helps reduce acne, inflammation, and minor skin irritations.

 

Moisture Retention: Boosts the skin’s ability to lock in hydration without clogging pores.

 

Aromatherapeutic Benefits: Its natural scent helps lower cortisol levels, adding a calming effect to your skincare routine.

 

It’s suitable for all skin types, but is especially loved by those with sensitive, dry, mature, or reactive skin.
