Is rose essential oil the same as rose absolute?

Is an Absolute the same as an essential oil?

An absolute is not the same as an essential oil. An absolute is a concentrated aromatic material extracted from plants, typically using solvents, to produce a refined, highly concentrated and aromatic form of the plant material. An essential oil is a concentrated liquid containing volatile aromatic compounds from plants. They are usually extracted from the plant using steam or cold-pressing, and are usually much more concentrated than absolutes.

What does Absolute mean in essential oils?

Absolute is a term used to describe a type of essential oil that has been extracted from plant material through a process called solvent extraction. This process involves using a solvent, such as alcohol, to separate the essential oil compounds from the plant material. The resulting product is an absolute which contains a concentrated amount of the essential oil’s aroma and therapeutic properties. Absolute oils are more concentrated and often more expensive than other types of essential oils.
