These wild rock roses grow in the untouched nature of Central Portugal at an altitude of 400-600m above sea level. This region, with its fresh, aromatic air and low pollution levels, provides the native gum cistus with an ideal climate. The seasonal temperature fluctuations as well as the daily fluctuation between cold nights and hot, dry days result in a particularly concentrated and rich formation of valuable compounds and aromas such as resins, including the characteristic sticky and aromatic resin, labdanum, and pinenes. The stems and leaves are carefully harvested by hand and gently steam distilled in the local distillery.

The producer of our rock rose essential oil is a small, family-owned business based in Portugal. The young, nature-loving company specialises in wildcrafting and collecting damaged wood from the region's native plants for essential oil production. The gentle distillation is performed in stainless steel tanks using low water pressure, which leads to the near complete extraction of the plants' valuable aromatic compounds. All of the producer's oils are EU certified organic.

Rock roses belong to the Cistaceae family. The common gum cistus is a shrub with linear, lanceolate, sticky, aromatic, dark green leaves. Its flowers have a yellow centre with a red spot often on the base of each petal and can be up to 10cm wide. The shrub can grow up to 2m high and 1.5m wide. The rock rose can be found growing from south-western Europe, such as Portugal, to northern Africa.

The herbaceous scent of rock rose strengthens resilience, brings self-confidence and conveys a feeling of inner strength and stability.
