Native to South Africa, the original home of all geranium species, this scented geranium has large, pink flowers with slightly serrated edges. Rose Geranium essential oil has a very sweet and soft, rosy aroma. The rose like scent is why this oil is often used in perfumery as a substitute for Rose Otto, which is more costly to produce. In aromatherapy, the rich, gentle fragrance of Rose Geranium is valued for a host of female-related issues, including to nurture and support the hormone cycles.
Safety: Rose Geranium is non-toxic, non-irritant and non-sensitizing, so is safe for all skin types.
