Geranium Essential Oil

Herbology Geranium Essential Oil is 100% pure, therapeutic grade Pelargonium graveolens (Rose Geranium) leaf and flower oil, steam distilled from the fresh leaves and flowering tops of one of the most versatile, aromatically beautiful, and therapeutically comprehensive essential oils in the botanical world. Geranium has been cultivated as a medicinal and aromatic plant in Europe since the 17th century, when it was introduced from South Africa by Dutch traders, and quickly became one of the most prized ingredients in European perfumery as an affordable and botanically superior alternative to rose oil. Its fresh, sweet, rosy, slightly green floral aroma is one of the most universally appealing and emotionally balancing scents in aromatherapy, earning it the reputation as the "balancing oil" par excellence across skin care, emotional wellness, and hormonal support applications.

Geranium Essential Oil's primary active compounds are citronellol (20 to 40%), geraniol (10 to 20%), linalool (5 to 15%), and geranyl formate, a composition that delivers a uniquely comprehensive range of therapeutic properties: powerful antimicrobial and antifungal action from citronellol and geraniol; sebum regulating and skin balancing action from its astringent terpene alcohol content; documented anxiolytic and antidepressant effects from linalool and geraniol in aromatherapy; and a mild phytoestrogenic action from geraniol that contributes to Geranium's well documented reputation for supporting hormonal balance and emotional equilibrium during hormonal fluctuations. Citronellol's antimicrobial action addresses acne causing bacteria and dandruff causing Malassezia fungi. Geraniol's antioxidant properties protect skin from free radical damage and support a more radiant, even complexion. Its astringent terpene alcohol content tightens pores, regulates sebum, and improves skin tone for a visibly more refined and glowing complexion. In aromatherapy, its rosy, uplifting, and emotionally balancing aroma is one of the most effective natural oils for anxiety relief, mood lifting, and emotional harmony. A genuinely comprehensive, aromatically extraordinary, and deeply therapeutic botanical oil.

How to Use

• Face (balancing and glow): Add 2 to 3 drops to 30ml of carrier oil (jojoba or rosehip) and apply to clean skin morning or night. Particularly effective for sebum regulation, pore tightening, and improving overall skin tone and radiance. Suitable for oily, combination, and normal skin types.
• Scalp treatment: Add 3 to 5 drops to 30ml of carrier oil and massage into scalp. Leave for 20 to 30 minutes before washing out. Use 2 to 3 times per week for scalp health and dandruff control.
• Aromatherapy (emotional balance and mood lifting): Add 5 to 8 drops to a diffuser for a fresh, rosy, uplifting, and emotionally balancing atmosphere. Ideal for stress relief, anxiety reduction, and mood enhancement. Pairs beautifully with bergamot, lavender, and rose for a classic floral emotional wellness blend.
• Relaxing massage: Add 5 to 8 drops to 30ml of carrier oil for an uplifting, emotionally balancing, and skin nourishing massage experience.
• Natural perfume: Use as a fresh, rosy floral middle note in natural perfume formulations. Pairs magnificently with rose, neroli, bergamot, and sandalwood for a classic fresh floral oriental fragrance profile. An excellent and more affordable rose oil alternative in perfumery.
• DIY formulations: Add at 1 to 2% concentration to skin care and hair care formulations for sebum regulating, antimicrobial, and brightening benefits.
• Tip: Geranium is the natural perfumer's most versatile tool. Its rosy, fresh, slightly green aroma bridges the gap between citrus top notes and deep floral or woody base notes, making it the ideal middle note in almost any natural fragrance composition. Adding 5 to 10% Geranium to any blend instantly adds complexity, balance, and a premium floral dimension.
• Important: Always dilute before skin application (1 to 2% in carrier oil). Avoid during pregnancy due to mild phytoestrogenic properties. Avoid if you have estrogen sensitive conditions. Perform a patch test before first use. Do not ingest. Keep away from children.
