Rose oil

It smells so good!
Surely it is good, asks
Vicki Bramley.
The origin
Rose (essential) oil comes from
the petals of the rose and during
steam distillation, rosewater is
also created, containing 10-50
per cent rose oil. Rosehip oil is
cold-pressed from the fruit of
wild roses.
The buzz
One of Cleopatra’s beauty
secrets was cleansing with
rosewater. Now, rosewater, rose
oil and rosehip oil are having
a big beauty moment. Julia
Roberts’ skin was prepped with
Lancôme’s latest rose oil-
enriched Absolue Rich Cream,
$420, at the Oscars. Keira
Knightley slathers on rosehip oil
before flying, and Rose
Byrne applies it before
bed. Rosehip is even
found in skin
supplements, too.
