Oil Spotlight : Geranium

Geranium essential oil was used by the Egyptians to promote beautiful, radiant-looking skin. Today this potent oil is often used in high-end perfumes and skincare products. Cultivated from the fragrant flower native to South Africa and obtained through a careful distillation process, Geranium’s sweet, floral scent can be used topically and aromatically. Add Geranium to lotion, body wash, and hair care to enhance the aroma of your personal care products. Because Geranium oil has versatile benefits, you can also diffuse it to invite a peaceful, spiritual feeling in your living room or meditative space. – YL
