I just did an Amazon search for rose oil ⏤ goodness me, that stuff is expensive! Save your coin and make your own instead. It’s super easy and you’ll know exactly what you are putting on your skin. Grab a few roses from the garden, or better yet, the Valentine’s day bouquet from bae. Then use your rose oil for massages, as a facial moisturizer, to deep condition tired tresses, and so much more! Scroll down for all the deets, I guarantee you’ll wonder what took you so long to start making your own rose oil. I know I did. And better yet, while you’re on a DIY kick, make some rose water too!

About the ingredients & supplies

  • Organic rose petals
  • Grapeseed oil
  • Saucepan
  • Mesh strainer
  • Scissors
Snag the supplies

Organic rose petals

  • Please make sure you use organic roses to make your rose oil
  • Non-organic roses are sprayed with pesticides and chemicals, and we don’t want any of that in something we will be using on our bodies
  • You can use fresh or dried rose petals, just be sure they are organic
  • The color of your rose petals will determine the color of your rose oil ⏤ the darker the roses, the more vibrant the rose oil will be. The lighter the roses, the lighter it will be!

Grapeseed oil

  • Grapeseed oil is a mild, smelling oil, which will help our rose oil smell more like roses and less like oil if you know what I mean
  • It’s also a great carrier oil for all skin types
  • If you don’t have Grapeseed oil, choose another mild smelling oil that works for your skin type (in other words, steer clear of Olive or Coconut oils!)

Saucepan

  • We will need to boil water to warm the Grapeseed oil, which will allow the organic rose petals to release their goodness
  • If you have a saucepan with a lid, even better!

Water

  • If you’ve seen any of my other DIY recipes (Rosewater, Antibacterial mouthwash, or Surface cleaner to name a few!) you know I typically recommend using distilled water, but tap water is fine here
  • We are only using this water to warm our oil and petals from the outside; it will never come in contact with our rose oil

Glass jar

  • Anything that is heat-safe and air-tight will work here
  • I ended up infusing the oil in a glass jar and then transferred the rose oil into a fancier applicator bottle, but use what you have!

Mesh strainer

  • Once the rose petals have infused the oil, we will need a strainer to separate our sweet, sweet oil from the petals
  • Using a strainer ensures the rose oil doesn’t have any annoying petal pieces or debris
  • You could also use cheese cloth or a nut milk bag

Scissors

  • In order to get as much rose-y goodness out of our organic rose petals, we will need to shred the petals
  • If you have Wolverine hands, shredding will be easy for you. For the rest of us, scissors get the job done
How to make your own rose oil

How to make

  1. Fill the saucepan with water and bring to a boil
  2. While waiting for the water to boil, remove organic rose petals from the stems, shred them with scissors and add to the glass jar
  3. Add 1 cup of Grapeseed oil to the glass jar
  4. Close the jar
  5. Once the saucepan of water has come to a boil, remove from the heat
  6. Add the glass jar to the saucepan and let sit in the boiling water until it cools
  7. Once the boiling water has cooled, remove the jar and leave to sit in a dark, cool place for 24 hours
  8. Next, strain the rose petals and remove from the oil
  9. All done!

How to store

  • Store in an air-tight container in a cool, dry place
