Rose Geranium Essential Oil
Rose Geranium Essential Oil
Rose Geranium Essential Oil (Pelargonium graveolens var. roseum)
Rose Geranium Essential Oil (Pelargonium graveolens var. roseum) is steam distilled from the leaves and tops of the plant, sourced from Madagascar. Its sweet, rosy, slightly herbaceous aroma sits close to true Rose but at a fraction of the cost, making it a popular substitute in perfumery, skincare and aromatherapy blends.
This balancing oil is prized in skincare for its effect on the skin's natural oil production, helping to even out both oily and dry areas while supporting a clear, healthy-looking complexion. It's a popular addition to facial oils, creams, lotions and body care products.
In aromatherapy, Rose Geranium is valued for its uplifting, balancing qualities, often used to help ease everyday stress and tension and support an overall sense of emotional wellbeing.
A little care goes a long way: Rose Geranium Essential Oil is a mild skin and eye irritant and may cause an allergic skin reaction, so always dilute well before topical use and patch test first.
