Oil Summary: Organic Geranium Oil has a reputation for being an essential oil that is especially designed to benefit women. It is known to help support the reproductive systems and the menstrual cycles of women. Furthermore, it is helpful in balancing the skin’s production of sebum as well as clearing acne. It is also said to help protect against diabetes. When used in aromatherapy, Geranium essential oil can help promote emotional stability, enhance mood, reduce inflammation and reduce anxiety and depression. When used in blends, the aroma of Geranium essential oil will dominate over the others, so try to use sparingly. It blends well with citrus and floral essential oils. Organic Geranium Oil is steam distilled from the flowers and leaves of Pelargonium spp., which is not quite the same as the perennial garden favorite we all know. Its heavy, sweet aroma induces calm, peaceful and spiritual feelings, and it is also prized as a wound healer. The common use of geranium oil is both medicinal and cosmetic; it presents as a nearly colorless, medium-weight liquid with a greenish tinge. It has a strong middle fragrance note that is very similar to a rose. Geranium essential oil contains several volatile compounds, which is what gives it its distinct fragrance. The main chemical components found in geranium essential oil are geraniol, myrcene, nerol, limonene, citronellal, isomenthone, and linalool.
