Bois De Rose Oil description

Bois de rose oil (also known as rosewood oil) is a fragrant plant oil with a spicy-sweet scent. Extracted from wood chips from a species of evergreen tree, rosewood oil contains several volatile fragrance chemicals, including camphene, geranial, geraniol, limonene, linalool, myrcene, and neral. It is used chiefly as a fragrance and flavoring ingredient; there’s no research pertaining to its benefit for skin and in fact, it is more likely to irritate skin.
