Oxidation risk: Unknown

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

Contraindications & cautions

moderateAvoid use in the first and second trimester of pregnancy due to emmenagogue/traditional labor-inducing use; the oil is otherwise reported non-toxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing. This caution applies to Rosa damascena rose otto generally and is not batch-specific to the Khenaman lot.

About this composition

Hermitage identifies this material as a first-distillation rose otto produced in Khenaman in the 2025 season. No public batch GC sheet was exposed on the live product page during this pass, so quantitative composition is anchored to the open ISO 9842 rose-otto standard for Rosa damascena together with directly readable Iranian rose-otto composition data from central Iran, used here as a public Persian reference profile rather than a lot-specific assay.

What we're still learning · 2 data gaps

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

No public batch-specific Khenaman GC profile was exposed on the live product page in this pass, so the quantitative profile uses public Iranian Rosa damascena reference data rather than a lot assay.
Odor intensity 80 is an archive normalization from live product language describing strong body, diffusivity, and substantial strip longevity rather than a published native 0-100 metric.
