Nowadays, the demand for rosemary essential oils (REOs) in the cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical industries is increasing, and the abundant germplasm resources of rosemary provide more possibilities for functional applications. The REOs from six cultivars were selected to evaluate and compare their bioactivities. REOs have good cellular antioxidant activity in scavenging reactive oxygen species, and the technology for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS)-random forest multivariate model indicated that &lsquo:Dutch Mill&rsquo: REO has the best antioxidant activity, which is closely related to its verbenone content. In addition, &alpha:-pinene-dominant REOs are more toxic to human keratinocytes, which is closely related to the content of &alpha:-pinene, as revealed by multivariate analyses. Moreover, anti-proliferative assays on six cancer cell lines showed that all REOs have a higher anti-proliferative ability against human pancreatic cancer cell line SW1990 and gastric epithelial cell line NCI-N87. Among them, &lsquo:Miss Jessopp&rsquo:s Upright&rsquo: and &lsquo:Blue Lagoon&rsquo: REOs exhibit more prominent anti-proliferative activity. Our study provides a reference value for exploring the application potential of different REOs by evaluating their differences in chemical composition and bioactivity.
