General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

Common products:
* Essential oil: Steam-distilled essential oil from the flowers, primarily cultivated in China and Japan. Described as having a "green-floral" scent profile.
* Rose hydrosol (flower water): A by-product of essential oil distillation, used in cosmetics as a fragrance and refreshing ingredient.

Industrial and craft applications:
* No specific documented industrial or craft applications beyond essential oil extraction are widely reported.

Food and beverages (non-medicinal):
* No documented uses as a food ingredient or beverage component are reported for this specific species.

Colorants and tanning:
* No specific use as a dye or tannin source is documented for this taxon.

Wood and fiber:
* No documented timber, fiber, or basketry use. Plants are generally described as shrubs with relatively small stems.

Fragrance and cosmetics:
* Essential oil: The primary commercial use. The oil possesses notable green, leafy top notes alongside floral heart notes. This profile contributes to its value in perfumery, particularly for applications where a "green rose" character is desired.
* Cosmetic ingredients: The essential oil and the less volatile hydrosol are used in formulations for skin and hair care products (e.g., lotions, creams, toners, shampoos) primarily for their fragrance. No functional properties are typically claimed.

Properties relevant to use:
* Essential oil composition: Key fragrance compounds include nonanal, decanal, and various oxides, such as 1,8-cineole and oxides of linalool, contributing to its characteristic green note. The oil's high content of certain aldehydes (e.g., nonanal, decanal) influences its potent, fresh aroma profile compared to sweeter-smelling rose oils.

Standards and regulation:
* No specific standards (ISO, ASTM, etc.) or regulatory frameworks uniquely applicable to products from *Rosa sambucina* are documented. Products are generally subject to general fragrance and cosmetic safety regulations applicable in the countries of production and sale.

Sustainability and sourcing:
* Sustainability information is limited. Commercial cultivation and harvest are primarily concentrated in East Asia (China, Japan). Data on wild harvesting, population impacts, and cultivation practices for conservation or ecological impact assessment is not widely available.
