MANUFACTURE PROCESS

Steam Distillation: Geranium oil is extracted from the leaves and stems of geranium plants (Pelargonium spp.). The plant material is subjected to steam distillation, where the steam carries the aromatic compounds of the plant. The steam is then condensed, separating the essential oil from the water.

APPLICATION

Perfumery: Geranium oil is commonly used in perfumes and fragrances, adding a floral, slightly sweet aroma with hints of citrus.
Skincare products: It's used in skincare products for its astringent properties, helping to tone and tighten the skin, as well as its potential to balance oil production.
Insect repellents: Geranium oil is sometimes used as a natural insect repellent due to its strong scent, which can deter mosquitoes and other pests.
Aromatherapy: Geranium oil is utilized in aromatherapy for its balancing and calming effects, often used to alleviate stress and uplift the mood.
