Rose Crystal Powder is a white to pale crystalline aromatic raw material used mainly in perfumery, cosmetics, soaps and bath products to add a rose-linked scent note. Azlok supplies it as a crystalline powder for external use only, and it is not meant to be eaten or applied undiluted to the skin. If you make your own fragrances or bath goods at home or run a small workshop, this is the kind of concentrated raw material you dose in tiny amounts.
What is Rose Crystal Powder?
This product is a fragrance chemical supplied in crystalline powder form. Its listed technical details are:
- Chemical name: 2,2,2-trichloro-1-phenylethyl acetate
- CAS number: 90-17-5
- Colour: white
- Form: crystalline powder
- Country of origin: India
- Shelf life: 12 months
The name "rose crystal" comes from the way this raw material is used to build rose-type accords in fragrance work. It is an aroma ingredient, not a botanical rose extract, so treat it as a concentrated perfumery material rather than a food or edible product.
Common uses
Because it is a concentrated aromatic, a small quantity goes a long way. Typical applications include:
- Perfumes and attars: as a supporting note in floral, rose-based blends.
- Soap making: dissolved and blended into cold-process or melt-and-pour bases.
- Bath products: bath salts, bath bombs and similar scented items.
- Cosmetic formulations: as a fragrance component in leave-on and wash-off products, at safe usage levels.
- Traditional preparations: where a rose-type aroma is desired for external use.
How to use it
Handle Rose Crystal Powder like any concentrated fragrance material — measure carefully and start small.
- Weigh, don't guess. Use a fine kitchen or lab scale. Fragrance materials are dosed by weight, usually a small percentage of the finished product.
- Dissolve first. Since it is a crystalline solid, blend it into a compatible carrier for your product — such as a small amount of the oil or alcohol base you are already using — before adding it to the full batch. This gives an even scent.
- Test on a small batch. Make a trial batch, let it cure or settle, and check the strength before scaling up. It is far cheaper to correct a 100 g test than a full production run.
- Blend, then adjust. Rose materials work best alongside other notes. Add gradually and smell as you go.
Safety and handling
This is a chemical raw material for external use only. Please follow sensible precautions:
- External use only. Do not ingest, and do not apply it neat to skin — always use it diluted within a finished formulation.
- Avoid eye contact. Keep the powder and any solutions away from your eyes; rinse with plenty of water if contact occurs.
- Keep away from children and pets.
- Work in a ventilated space and avoid breathing in the dust when handling the powder.
- Patch-test finished products. Anyone using your soap or bath item should be able to patch-test for sensitivity, as with any fragranced product.
- Ask for the paperwork. A COA and MSDS help you use it correctly and stay within safe levels; keep them on file, especially if you sell your products.
Buying and storage tips
Azlok offers Rose Crystal Powder in a wide range of pack sizes — 100 g, 500 g, 1 kg, 5 kg, 10 kg, 20 kg and 25 kg — so hobbyists can buy a small trial pack while small manufacturers can order in bulk. Pricing starts around ₹219, making the smaller packs an easy way to test before committing to volume.
- Buy the smallest pack first if you are new to it, and scale up once your formula is settled.
- Store in a cool, dry place, tightly closed and away from direct sunlight and heat.
- Keep the container sealed to prevent moisture pickup, since it is a crystalline powder.
- Use within the 12-month shelf life for best scent performance, and label your container with the purchase date.
FAQ
Is Rose Crystal Powder a natural rose extract?
No. It is an aromatic raw material — a fragrance chemical (CAS 90-17-5) supplied as a crystalline powder. It provides a rose-linked scent note but is not a botanical rose oil or extract.
Can I apply it directly to my skin?
No. It is meant for external use within finished, diluted products only. Never apply the raw powder or a concentrated solution directly to skin, and keep it away from your eyes.
How much should I add to a batch?
Only a small percentage by weight is needed, as it is concentrated. Start with a tiny trial batch, weigh accurately, and adjust to strength before scaling up. Follow the usage levels indicated in the product's MSDS.
How long does it last and how should I store it?
The stated shelf life is 12 months. Store it sealed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, heat and moisture, and out of reach of children.
What pack size should a beginner buy?
Start with the 100 g pack to test your formulations. Larger packs up to 25 kg are available on Azlok once you know how much you need.
