So be wise when choosing your recipe.

• Homemade rose oil

Olive oil (it must be unrefined) must be heated in a water bath to 65–70°C. Then you pour rosehip petals into it until there are no more free space in the container, i.e. to the top. Next, you need to leave this mass somewhere in a warm place (for example, place it near a radiator, in the sun, near a stove) for two days. After this, squeeze out the petals and add fresh oil again. This procedure must be repeated 10 times. You will get real rose oil when prepared with my own hands at home. It is recommended to store it in a dark, preferably cool place in a well-closed container.
