Apple Geranium Essential Oil 10 ml

Apple geranium essential oil has a subtly sweet, crisp scent with distinct notes of apple and mint — a favourite in skin and hair care.

Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) is a flowering plant native to South Africa. It produces lovely blush-pink flowers with distinctive purple markings on their petals. Interestingly, the flowers are not used to make the oil — the leaves and stalks are. With a soothing aroma carrying a slightly earthy or minty undertone, the oil is used in perfumery, aromatherapy and, of course, body care.

There are many varieties and strains of this pink, fragrant flower — each smells a little different, but they are near-identical in composition and uses. This oil comes from Pelargonium odoratissimum, a species native to South Africa, also known as apple geranium thanks to its distinct apple and mint notes.

How to use apple geranium essential oil
