Palmarosa Oil

Palmarosa is a green grass, sharing similarities with lemongrass and citronella. It belongs to the family of Poaceae. The name ‘palmarosa’ was given to the plant because of its fragrance, which is similar to rose oil. Palmarosa oil is obtained by the steam distillation of the grass of Cymbopogon martini Stapf var.motia. The oil is a pale yellow, free-flowing liquid that is sweet and floral, with a hint of the smell of rose. The main component of the oil is Geraniol. The product is mainly used in fragrance applications.

Palmarosa oil isn’t just a sweet-smelling essential oil. Peeps use it to treat skin probs like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. It’s also been linked to mental health, respiratory, and nervous system benefits.

In skin care, Palmarosa Essential Oil can be helpful for balancing dry, oily and combination skin types. A little goes a long way in skin care applications.
