Escentia Rock Rose (Labdanum) Pure Essential Oil is a dark, viscous essential oil with a rich, musky, resinous aroma used in aromatherapy, natural perfumery, and diluted skin and body blends. It is especially valued for its deep, grounding scent profile, which makes it a lovely choice for meditation blends, evening diffuser use, and more sophisticated perfume-style formulations. This is a pure essential oil, not a ready-to-use facial oil or body product, so it should always be used with care and proper dilution. Its rich character also makes it especially appealing in facial oil and serum blends for mature-looking skin.
♡ Why we love it: Rock rose has a beautifully deep, earthy elegance that can make a blend feel instantly more luxurious and complete. It is one of those oils that brings warmth, calm, and a quietly perfumery finish, whether you are blending for the face, the body, or a more atmospheric home ritual.

Pleased to find rock rose.It is an essence I struggle to find.
My regular supplier of Rock Rose ran out and I had to find an alternative. Being meticulous and analytical by nature, and already gone through fake oils, I sent the batch through three tests and they all came back PURE! Now ESSENTIALLY NATURAL is my main supplier! Oh, and deliveries are UNMATCHED!
I have used Escentia Labdanum in the past and it was airtight. This latest batch is totally fake. Thin, colorless, smells of cooking oil. It seems Escentia can no longer be trusted.
