OVERVIEW & DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Our Geranium Essential Oil is derived through steam distillation from the delicate green leaves and blossoms of the Pelargonium x asperum (syn Pelargonium graveolens) plant. These essential oils are secreted in specialized glands found throughout the lush foliage of this robust perennial, releasing their fresh, subtly invigorating lemony and rosy scent when crushed.
Highly prized in the realm of premium perfumery and skincare, Geranium Essential Oil is sourced from regions spanning the eastern Mediterranean, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Reunion Island, France, Spain, Italy, Morocco, Egypt, and China. Egypt stands as the largest producer of this exquisite oil, with harvesting seasons from June to July.
