Steam-distilled from Egyptian geranium flowers and leaves. The floral one that doesn't overwhelm.
Not citrus, not lavender, not mint. Geranium occupies its own space in an essential oil collection: sweet and rosy without being perfumey, calming without putting you to sleep. It's the balancing oil. The one people reach for when they want to feel grounded but still present.
This is pure Pelargonium graveolens, steam-distilled from flowers and leaves grown in Egypt. The scent is floral with a slight herbal edge. Some people describe it as "rosy" or compare it to rose geranium, which makes sense since they're closely related plants. It blends beautifully with lavender, citrus oils, and most other florals.
Why You'll Love The Geranium Essential Oil
- Balancing aromatherapy: Diffuse when you want to calm down without checking out. Good for work-from-home days, evening wind-down, or anytime the mood needs a reset.
- Skincare favorite: Geranium is known for balancing oil production, which makes it popular in DIY facial oils and serums. Works for both oily and dry skin types.
- Haircare ingredient: Add to homemade hair products or carrier oils for scalp health. We use rose geranium in our own Hair Smoothing Serum for a reason.
- Natural insect deterrent: Bugs don't love the scent. Add to a diffuser on the patio or mix into a body oil for summer evenings.
- Steam-distilled from Egypt: Not synthetic fragrance. Real geranium oil from real plants, extracted the traditional way.
How to Use It
Diffusing: 5-10 drops in an ultrasonic diffuser or a few drops in a traditional oil burner with water. Topical: Always dilute first. 2-3 drops per tablespoon of carrier oil (jojoba, sweet almond, or argan work well). DIY: Add to homemade lotions, serums, or hair treatments. Pairs well with lavender, bergamot, and citrus oils.
Goes Well With
- Soapstone Essential Oil Burner Lamp: The slow, warm way to diffuse. A tea light heats the oil gently, and geranium's sweet floral scent fills the room without being aggressive.
- Lavender Essential Oil: The classic pairing. Geranium and lavender together create something deeply calming. Good for evening diffusing or adding to a bath.
- Hair Smoothing Serum: Want to see what geranium does in a finished product? Our Hair Smoothing Serum uses rose geranium alongside argan oil for frizz control and shine.
Floral. Grounding. 10ml of the balancing one.
Q: What does geranium essential oil actually smell like?
A: Sweet and floral with a slight herbal note. People often describe it as "rosy" because it shares some scent compounds with rose oil. It's not as heavy as rose, not as sharp as lavender. Somewhere in between, and easier to blend with other oils.
Q: Is this the same as rose geranium oil?
A: Very similar. Rose geranium (Pelargonium graveolens var. roseum) is a specific cultivar bred to have a more pronounced rose-like scent. Standard geranium oil, like this one, has the same properties with a slightly more herbal character. For most aromatherapy and skincare uses, they're interchangeable.
Q: How do I use this for skincare?
A: Dilute 2-3 drops in a tablespoon of carrier oil like jojoba or argan, then apply to clean skin. Geranium is known for helping balance oil production, so it works for both oily and dry skin types. You can also add a few drops to unscented lotion or your existing facial oil.
