Valentine's Day Gifts: Rose Oil Products She Will Love

With Valentine's Day fast approaching, time is running out to find the perfect gift that your sweetheart will love.

If you're running short on ideas, consider one of the products below made with rose oil. Rose oil is an essential oil made from the petals of rose flowers.

In addition to smelling great, some have argued that rose oil can provide health benefits. In addition to being an astringent, it has also been suggested that rose oil is an anti-depressant and an aphrodisiac.

Whether or not these are placebo effects, rose oil is still an interesting compound. HuffPost blogger Haley Alexander van Oosten writes, "There are over 300 natural chemical constituents in a natural rose oil. It is complex and full of mystery; some of its constituents not only have no discernible smell, they are unidentifiable by scientists."

Rose oil really is the best way to go - you want to stay away from any petroleum based products (especially moisturizers)! Thanks for posting these great and innovative green gifts!

True Rose OIl (ie. Rose Otto, not rose absolute which is created using chemical solvents) is very costly as it literally takes 4000 petals to steam distill into one single ounce of essential oil. Think of the potency & power of a dozen roses, and the intensify that by a thousand! $5 "rose oil" guaranteed be a poor chemical reproduction. Lavish Rose Cream http://www.lavishrose.com would be a great addition to your list BTW...pure, nourishing rose otto moisturizer, without any chemicals or synthetics.

funny thing is if you go to your local ethnic indian store rose water is around 3 dollars. rose oil can be found online for like 5 dollars. I think the best gift is Argan oil, does everything hair, skin, nails, Sahara Serum has the best Argan oil around at least one can eliminate frizz, get rid of crows feet, and good for men with shaving bumps too so men like it. Nothing makes a woman happier than 1 product to take care of essentially her entire beauty routine!

Petals, not pedals.
