Geranium – Organic Essential Oils
With its holistic properties and gloriously sweet, rose-like aroma, Freshskin’s organic geranium oil is a must-have for your store cupboard.
 |
Steam distillation of the stems and leaves of this commonly grown plant releases this intensely scented essential oil which has so many therapeutic uses: sweet and yet herbaceous, with some subtle rose-like notes. The geranium plant itself had, according to ancient folklore, the ability to ward off evil spirits!
If blending, then you’ll find that geranium is a good match with many herbaceous oils: basil, clary sage, rosemary and lavender are a few examples. Others which work well are citrusy bergamot, citronella, grapefruit, orange and lime. Neroli, carrot seed and cedarwood also make good companions.
