Steam distilled Rose essential oil is known as Rose Otto and solvent extracted rose oil is known as Rose Absolute. Both are beautiful, intoxicating oils, but there are some differences. Rose Otto is lighter in color and thinner in viscosity than Rose Absolute. Aromatically, Rose Absolute traditionally can have a heartier, more intense aroma than Rose Otto. Still, both are incredibly concentrated and just a little goes a long way.
Pregnant women should avoid ingesting and topically applying undiluted essential oils throughout pregnancy. Instead, try inhaling essential oils or adding them to a diffuser.
Make sure to store essential oils out of reach of children. You¡¯ll also want to keep your oils away from excessive light or heat, as this can alter the chemical properties of an essential oil significantly.
Always supervise essential oil application with your children. Because children have more delicate skin, it¡¯s a good idea to dilute oils before applying them topically.
