A LITTLE CARE GOES A LONG WAY

Using it thoughtfully

Read the full safety context before bringing this oil into your routine.

Cited dermal maximum · leave-on: 0.26%
Phototoxicity: Not flagged in this profile
Oxidation risk: Unknown

A cited maximum is a limit, not a suggested dilution. Missing restrictions do not establish safety.

No phototoxic restriction was verified for distilled rose otto in the public sources reviewed.

Contraindications & cautions

moderateRose otto is reported to have emmenagogue action and this profile documents methyleugenol at up to 6%; reputable aromatherapy safety summaries advise avoiding use during pregnancy on this basis, and Tisserand & Young's dermal-maximum guidance for rose otto is itself set to keep methyleugenol exposure low.
moderateCommercial rose otto safety data sheets restrict use to children age 3 and older.
moderateThis profile's geraniol content (documented here at up to 29%) is an EU/IFRA-listed skin allergen, and commercial rose otto safety data additionally lists citronellol, linalool, eugenol, citral, and limonene as allergenic constituents that may cause allergic skin reaction; the oil should be diluted and patch-tested rather than used undiluted.

About this composition

Hermitage identifies this oil specifically as Rosa raduga from Georgia and describes it as an unusually gourmand, powdery, musky rose otto. No public cultivar-specific GC/MS or COA was exposed on the live product page during this pass. The quantitative constituent table below therefore uses directly read ISO 9842:2024 rose-otto ranges as a documented proxy for distilled rose otto chemistry, not as a cultivar-specific Raduga chromatogram.

What we're still learning · 2 data gaps

Good decisions start with knowing what is — and isn't — in the evidence.

A public cultivar-specific GC/MS or COA for Georgian Rosa raduga otto was not available in this pass; a producer COA or lab chromatogram is still the missing source type for a fully cultivar-specific constituent profile.
No public source reviewed in this pass publishes a native 0-100 odor intensity score or directly measured volatility/tenacity figures; odor intensity is normalized from AromaWeb's qualitative 'Strong' rating.
