broken image

A member of the Pelargonium genus of flower species, geraniums are grown for their beauty and as a staple of the perfume industry. Uses of GERANIUM Essential Oil date back to ancient Egypt, when Egyptians used GERANIUM oil to beautify skin, and for other benefits.

As an Essential Oil, GERANIUM has been used to promote the appearance of clear skin and healthy hair—making it ideal for skin and hair care products. It also helps calm nerves and lessen feelings of stress. GERANIUM is also known to naturally repel insects.
