Palmarosa (Cymbopogen martinii var motia) organic from India

Palmarosa essential oil is sometimes mistakenly called Rose Geranium. This pleasant smelling oil is a tropical grass which comes from the same plant family as Lemongrass and Citronella. Corporate body product manufacturers often use Palmarosa to adulterate pure Rose oil. Like Rose oil, Palmarosa is excellent for the skin. It stimulates cell reproduction and has the unique quality of being able to balance the skin’s production of sebum (oil). It can be used on the hands, face, feet, and all over the body for acne, skin infections, scars, sores, and wrinkles. Palmarosa contains the chemicals myrcene, linalool, geraniol, geranyl acetate, dipentene, and limonene, among others. This flowery oil is very deceptive. Most essential oils which are antiseptic, antibacterial, and antiviral have exceedingly strong and sometimes unpleasant scents such as Oregano or Ravensara. However, the gentle Palmarosa shares all these virtues without the distraction of a bad scent. These properties make it usefu
