Native to Southern Africa, Geranium has been a prized ingredient in perfumery for centuries. With both rose and lemon type notes in its smell, Geranium has a long list of uses both aromatically and topically. It is renowned for its skin clearing and hair strengthening abilities and has also been used in culinary applications.
With over 200 varieties of the Pelargonium genus, only a handful are used to create essential oils due to the ranges in aromatic profiles. Many of the flowers, which vary in color, are used in baking and are eaten as a garnish. Geranium has a wonderfully balancing effect and has been used to help balance hormones and is a perfect aid in promoting female health and is an excellent balancer to other oil blends.*
