Pink geranium

Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil

Rose geranium comes from Africa. Its fragrance is delicate, warm, sweet, fresh, with a spicy touch, subtly reminiscent of the scent of rose. It is suitable for skincare, where it evens out, brightens, tightens, and refreshes the skin. It is used in the care of all skin types, both oily and dull skin. It is an essential oil obtained by distilling the flowers of the Pelargonium graveolens plant, which originates from southern Africa, specifically from regions such as Réunion or Egypt. This natural organic extract is produced by steam distillation without chemical additives, thereby preserving the full strength of plant bioactive compounds, including geraniol and citronellol. It is not synthetic, but a purely plant-based product that supports sustainable agriculture. In aromatherapy and cosmetics, it is valued for its complex fragrance, which combines rose notes with herbal and fruity nuances, bringing a relaxing effect.

It can support the circulatory and lymphatic system, thereby ensuring better nourishment of the skin as well as faster removal of waste products. It is used preventively against the formation of stretch marks and supports the healing of minor scars. It eliminates skin imperfections and gives facial skin a glow and a youthful appearance. The mechanism of action includes soothing and anti-inflammatory effects thanks to sesquiterpenes, which relieve irritation. It moisturizes the skin by regulating the sebaceous glands, restores the skin barrier by strengthening blood vessel walls, and acts as an antioxidant by neutralizing free radicals. It has mild exfoliating properties by stimulating cell renewal. The recommended concentration in cosmetics is 0.5-2 % for facial products to avoid sensitization.

We recommend it for dry, oily, dull, sensitive, acne-prone, dehydrated, and mature skin. It is ideal for people with uneven tone, enlarged pores, or minor inflammation, because it evens out the skin and regulates sebum production. Suitable for all age groups, especially for those looking for a natural alternative to synthetic sebum regulators.

A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (2014) showed that Pelargonium graveolens oil at a concentration of 1 % inhibited the growth of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria by 78% within 24 hours, thereby supporting acne treatment. Another study in Phytotherapy Research (2008) states that application of a 2 % solution improved microcirculation in the skin by 25% after 4 weeks, thereby improving skin nourishment and reducing stretch marks.
