The Rose Concrete is obtained by extraction with non-polar solvent of fresh, non-steamed and with no external moisture, rose blossoms. It is orange-red, semi-solid, wax-like consistence, with scent typical for rose blossoms and absolute content of at least 60%. Rose concrete has a diverse and rich content of more than 166 components, of which 30 are hydrocarbons. It consists of all components of the rose oil. The predominant ingredient is phenylethyl alcohol–about 70%. The Rose Concrete is used primarily to obtain absolute and in small amounts in cosmetics and perfumery products.
