What It Does
Pelargonium Graveolens Oil is steam-distilled from the leaves and stems of the rose geranium plant, primarily cultivated in Egypt, Reunion Island, and China. This essential oil is valued for its complex rosy-minty aroma with citrus undertones, containing high levels of citronellol, geraniol, and linalool, which contribute both to its distinctive fragrance profile and its skin-balancing properties. Formulators choose it not only for its sophisticated scent that bridges floral and herbal notes, but also for its traditional use in supporting skin health and providing mild astringent effects in natural and aromatherapeutic formulations.
