What it is — Rosa Damascena Flower Oil (INCI: Rosa Damascena Flower Oil), also known as rose otto, is an aromatic essential oil from damask rose.

What it does — It is commonly used to give a natural rose scent and a luxurious sensory character.

Typical use — It appears at low levels in scented skincare, facial oils, and bath and body products.

Who it suits / good to know — Like most essential oils, rose oil contains fragrance components that can be sensitizing for some people, so it is best approached with care on sensitive or reactive skin.
