🌱 Product Description
Palmarosa Oil is a light, floral-grassy essential oil distilled from the aromatic grass Cymbopogon martinii. It has a fresh, rosy, geranium-like scent with mild citrus and herbal undertones, owing to its high geraniol content.
Widely used in natural perfumery, skincare, and aromatherapy, Palmarosa Oil offers antibacterial, antifungal, hydrating, and rejuvenating properties. It is especially valued for supporting skin health, emotional balance, and natural fragrance blending, often as a cost-effective alternative to rose or geranium oils.
