Product Overview

Our certified organic (USDA, NOP) African Geranium (also known as Rose Geranium) is a superior choice for body care and aromatherapy uses; it is also an essential perfumery ingredient, making this oil one we recommend often. It has a very pleasing sweet floral aroma with very fresh, green, and soft fruity/rose-like body notes – our sweetest, deepest, and fruitiest Geranium.

Native to South Africa, the Pelargonium genus includes around 270 unique species and is considered one of the most adaptable in the botanical world. Producing a veritable symphony of aromatics, Geraniums boast scents of rose, ginger, apple, coconut, strawberry, mint, nutmeg, citrus, pepper and more that are released from glandular leaf hairs, or trichomes. This enormous diversity of aromatic constituents, created for adaptation to many different habitats, is almost unequaled in the plant kingdom.[1] The result is a remarkably versatile aroma with wide-ranging benefits.

Geranium essential oil is prized for its beneficial and astringent effects in skincare[2], particularly for oily and congested skin preparations, revitalizing serums for mature skin, scalp and hair formulations, after-shaves, and foot and leg lotions. The calming aroma is said to be both centering and sensual[3] with inspiring qualities. It is favored in women’s blends (especially with Clary Sage and Lavender), and its versatile nature makes it ideal for body and massage oils of numerous types.

Geranium, Africa is a bold, full-bodied Geranium for soaps and household formulas, aromatic cosmetics and organic bodycare, fruity and floral accords, and aromatherapy blends for evoking a comforting and tranquil ambiance. We find it beautiful in a diffuser with Sweet Orange essential oil.

a great floral geranium

Rating

This is the most sweet geranium i've ever used. Less minty or earthy than than the others, so an excellent material for the budding perfumer.
