Amour Natural Rose Geranium Essential Oil 10ml
Rose Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens)
Egyptian Geranium has a slightly earthy apple aroma and Rose Geranium has a more rose-like aroma.
The Plant
Geranium has about 700 different varieties, one of which is Pelargonium graveolens. The shrub originates from South Africa and is grown there and in areas of Europe. The different growing conditions result in a different aroma.
The Extraction
The oil is extracted from the leaves and stalks by the process of steam distillation.
Advice: be cautious of geranium that may be sold as rose geranium but actually comes from the Pelargonium odorantissimum plant. This oil gets it rose aroma from being distilled over rose petals. It is cheaper but it is a mock-rose geranium plant. Our Rose Geranium is from the genuine plant Pelargonium graveolens.
Affects
Geranium is used to lift one’s spirits and reduce tension. It is commonly used in skincare to boost skin health and clear sluggish looking skin.
Rose geranium is commonly used in perfumery and cosmetics, in particular is to enhance the smell of rose which is typically very expensive.
History
