Geranium Essential Oil
Geranium Essential Oil
Geranium Essential Oil (Pelargonium graveolens)
Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) is steam-distilled from the leaves, stem and flowers of the plant, sourced from Egypt, producing a clear, yellowish-green liquid with a powerful, sweet, rosy floral aroma and a fruity undertone. Its natural richness in citronellal, geraniol and linalool gives it a bright, uplifting character.
Widely valued in aromatherapy for its balancing, harmonising qualities, Geranium is a popular choice for diffuser blends aimed at easing everyday stress and tension. Its floral, slightly fruity scent also makes it a favourite in skincare formulations, massage oils and natural haircare, where it's often paired with other florals to round out a blend.
This one deserves a little extra care: Geranium Essential Oil is a skin irritant and sensitiser, causes serious eye damage, and carries a serious aspiration hazard if swallowed. Always dilute well before topical use and patch test first. Avoid all contact with the eyes.

Uses ▼
Diffuser & emotional balance
A few drops in a diffuser creates a calming, balancing atmosphere, making Geranium a popular choice for easing everyday stress and tension.
Skincare blends
Well diluted, Geranium is a favourite in skincare formulations for its floral, rosy character and toning qualities, particularly for oily or combination skin.
Massage & bath blends
Diluted in a carrier oil or dispersed in the bath, Geranium makes a soothing, floral addition to relaxation-focused massage and bath blends.
Blends Well With
| Although essential oils blend well with one another, Geranium oil goes particularly well with other essential oils such as bergamot, clary sage, jasmine, lavender, lemon, patchouli, rose, rosemary and sandalwood. |
Usage & Formulation Guide ▼
For soap makers, natural perfumers and cosmetic formulators. These are starting points, not finished formulas — always confirm compliance, stability and safety (including IFRA usage limits) for your own finished product before use.
Fine Fragrance & Perfumery Accord
Geranium is a versatile floral heart note — try it at 3-6% of the fragrance concentrate to bridge rose and citrus accords, or blended with Clary Sage and Bergamot for a fresh, green floral character.
Skincare & Massage Oil Inclusion Rate
Geranium is a skin sensitiser and causes serious eye damage, so keep leave-on skincare to around 1-2% of the total formulation, well below the generous IFRA limits for most categories. Always patch test the finished blend and keep well away from the eye area.
Aromatherapy & Diffuser Blend
For a balancing blend, try 2 drops Geranium with 2 drops Lavender and 1 drop Bergamot; for a rich floral blend, combine 2 drops Geranium with 1 drop Rose and 2 drops Sandalwood.
Cold-Process Soap
Geranium performs well in cold-process soap at 2-4% of total oil weight, giving a rosy, floral bar. It holds well through cure, and pairs nicely with Patchouli or Sandalwood for added depth.
