Queen of Oils: The Magic of Rose Otto Oil
Yas, queen! Rose Otto Oil, also known as Rose Essential Oil, is often called the queen of oils, and for good reason. Derived from the petals of Damask Rose through a steam distillation process, it has been used for centuries in various cultures for its therapeutic and skincare benefits.
Our founder Jodi Shays also likes to refer to it as “liquid gold,” which is why she chose it as one of the key ingredients when developing QB Skincare Rose Cream Cleanser.
“I love roses, and the beautiful benefits of rose extract on the skin. So when I was developing a cleanser, it had to have Rose Otto Oil because the way it softens, soothes, and hydrates the skin is unparalleled.”
Jodi Shays, QB Skincare Owner & Founder
The benefits of Rose Otto Oil in skincare are aplenty, but here are some of our favorite reasons to love the queen of oils:
Hydrating, Moisturizing, and Gentle Cleansing:
Known for its moisturizing properties, Rose Otto Oil can help lock in moisture and keep the skin hydrated. When used in a facial cleanser, it can prevent excessive drying of the skin that other harsh cleansers and chemicals may cause.
Rose Otto Oil is a gentle ingredient suitable for sensitive skin. It can cleanse the skin effectively without causing irritation or stripping away natural oils, making it a good option for those with delicate or easily irritated skin. So unless you have a severe reaction to rose extract, QB Skincare Rose Cream Cleanser should be amazing for all.
Anti-Inflammatory and Antibacterial:
With its anti-inflammatory properties, Rose Otto Oil can help calm redness and irritation, which may benefit those with sensitive or inflamed skin conditions like rosacea or acne. Rose Otto Oil also has mild antibacterial properties to help prevent bacterial growth on the skin’s surface and be especially beneficial for those with acne-prone skin.
“I suffer from Rosacea, so I have to be extra mindful of the ingredients I use on my face as it’s easily irritated. Our Rose Cream Cleanser works beautifully on my skin thanks to the natural anti-inflammatory properties in Rose Otto Oil.”

Antioxidant Protection and Skin Regeneration:
Rose Otto contains antioxidants that can help protect skin from environmental stressors and free radicals that can damage skin cells and accelerate aging. Rose Otto Oil is also believed to aid in skin cell regeneration and improve skin texture for a more youthful appearance and healthier glow.
And most note-worthy? It smells divine:
Jodi loves roses and understands the many benefits of rose extract, including aromatherapy. Rose Otto Oil is calming and mood-enhancing, and as she says, “It’s neutral and uplifting without smelling like your grandma’s vanity.”
If you want to try a product with Rose Otto Oil, give QB Skincare Rose Cream Cleanser a try. It’s great for all skin types, especially dry, aging, sensitive, and blemish-prone skin, and is safe for delicate areas, including down there.
“The beauty of this cleanser is that it’s multi-purpose—it’s wonderful for cleansing the face, of course, but it also glides onto the skin beautifully before shaving any area and is great for all ages and genders. It was very important to me that it didn’t dry out delicate areas or leave behind a film after rinsing—just squeaky clean, beautifully hydrated skin.”
