Geranium's backstory

The history of geranium essential oil dates back to ancient Egypt, when it was used to beautify skin and hair. It was also a coveted perfume – and remains a staple of the perfume industry today! Geranium oil is distilled from the petals of the Pelargonium genus of flower species. There are hundreds of different varieties of Pelargonium flowers, but only a few are used as essential oils.

PURE Geranium is used to promote the appearance of a smooth, glowing complexion and shiny hair.
