Geranium Essential Oil

Geranium Essential Oil (Pelargonium graveolens)
Country of Origin: Africa

There are oils that comfort… and oils that quietly restore balance where life has pulled us off-center. Geranium is a gentle harmonizer—floral, green, and softly sweet, like walking through a garden just after rain.

Distilled from the leaves and flowers, Geranium essential oil carries a rosy brightness grounded by earthy undertones. It doesn’t overwhelm—it recalibrates.
