This Palmarosa essential oil has a smooth, fresh, grassy aroma with mild rosy-geraniol and delicate citrus zest top notes. It comes from the same botanical family as Lemongrass and Citronella and is native to India and Pakistan. Palmarosa is truly underappreciated for both its complex aroma and the generally beneficial properties inherent in this arrangement of molecules.
It is useful in skincare, particularly for dry or imbalanced skin, and for this reason is exceptionally beautiful in facial serums and soaps. When blended in a cream or lotion it can be very beneficial to dry or oily skin, especially good for teenage and mature skin. When blended in a carrier oil it makes a nice refreshing massage which can be a nice boost. It is thought to help relieve fatigue and calm nerves and stress as well as providing a boost to the digestive system and the skin. An uplifting oil which can help bring clarity to a confused mind when burned or vaporised.
