Harvested by a collective of women and processed largely by hand, it can be said that the energy and intention drawn upon from the farming through the to processing of the rose petals is akin to the intentions of the final Verte Essentials products. We believe it is as important to have a mutually respectful and honorable relationship between all of the partners in our process. This extends from the energy of the land in which we are farming, to the people who help in manufacture. The partner we have chosen for our rose petal extract takes that to a beautiful place...

A note from our partner:
The rose petals are farmed sustainably, in an organic manner, and sourced primarily from small farmers in Kerala and the rest of India, building upon over seven decades of strongly-established family relationships.
Our practice is guided by the concept of Kudumbashree: 'The enhancement of a less-privileged family through empowering the women.’ In developing communities, there is sometimes an inequality in wages for men and women; but,as a female-centric enterprise, we ensure equal pay irrespective of gender. We also provide annual wage increases in line with inflation, so wages are assured, no matter how low the market falls. Our wages are better than those offered by surrounding factories, and locals are always keen to find employment with us.
We also produce Ayurvedic medicine to treat Parkinson’s Disease in the local community, supplying this free of charge as a charitable donation. This gesture is in loving memory of a friend to the business.

The process for manufacturing:
The rose petals are first cold-pressed using rollers. Crushing them without generating heat ensures that the vibrant flavors and whole molecules are preserved. The crushed petals are then passed through an extraction vessel where the solvent (ethyl acetate) is percolated. This process allows for in order to obtain the maximum volume of extract. The solvent is then removed using the least invasive form of removal - vacuum suction. This is one of the key differences in our rose petal extract. It requires no additives so we do not run the risk of adversely affect the flavors. All that remains at this stage is the highly-concentrated oil and resin.
