PALMAROSA OIL BENEFITS

Palmarosa essential oil is distilled from the scented grass, which is a relative of lemongrass. It grows wild in India. The essential oil has a pleasant, sweet, floral-rosy smell. It is best known for its skin-care properties, including a balancing action. It can help to hydrate dry skin or normalize the sebum secretions of oily skin. It also tones and revitalizes the appearance of tired or aging skin.
ESSENTIAL OIL
Extracted by steam-distillation, the oil is harvested from the dried grass before it flowers. It is sometimes called Indian or Turkish geranium.
Create a Scent
For a youthful, floral scent, try blending palmarosa oil with rose, geranium, grapefruit, and ylang ylang oils. Sandalwood and mandarin oils are also good pairings.
GRASS
A scented grass in the same family as lemongrass and citronella, palmarosa has a rosy, rather than citrusy, aroma.
HERBAL WATER
Like all hydrosols, this herbal water retains the fragrance and active principles of the plant, but in a more dilute form that can be applied directly to the skin or hair.
