Palmarosa Essential Oil

Palmarosa Essential Oil (Cymbopogon martinii) – From India

Introduction & Origin
Palmarosa essential oil is steam-distilled from the grassy, aromatic leaves of Cymbopogon martinii, a plant related to lemongrass and citronella. Grown predominantly in India, it thrives in tropical climates and is harvested before flowering, when oil content is highest.

Scent Profile
Palmarosa has a bright, rose-like floral scent with herbaceous green notes and a soft citrusy sweetness. Often mistaken for rose oil, it's a more affordable yet uplifting alternative and pairs well with Lavender, Geranium, and citrus oils.

Aromatherapy Benefits
This versatile oil supports both the skin and emotions. Its antimicrobial and hydrating properties make it ideal for dry or irritated skin, while its calming scent soothes anxiety and stress. It’s often used in skincare for its ability to regulate sebum production and support cellular renewal.

Emotional & Energetic Properties
Palmarosa promotes emotional healing and resilience. Spiritually, it is linked to heart chakra energy -encouraging compassion, self-acceptance, and release of emotional tension. It’s the perfect oil for nurturing inner peace.

This rosy oil will be found in our Rose Botanica and Midsummer blends.
