Geranium Essential Oil

Geranium is steam distilled from the leaves of Pelargonium graveolens var roseum. Our batches have come from India, Madagascar, and South Africa, all certified organic or organically grown.

The chemistry leans heavily on monoterpenols, which average around 44% across our batches. Citronellol leads the way (typically 21-33% in our batches), with geraniol usually 9-16%. Monoterpenols are the family known for being skin-supportive and gentle, well tolerated even by sensitive skin, and for helping the nervous system settle back toward balance. There are esters here too, close to 23% on average, including citronellyl formate at roughly 8-13%. Geranium is also a favorite in natural insect repellent blends.

Every batch we bring in is independently GC-MS tested, and the full report for each one lives right here on this page.
