Pelargonium graveolens, the rose geranium · distilled from its leaves and stems · bottled 100% pure and undiluted
Green-Rosy Leaf Distillate
True geranium oil comes from steam-distilling the leafy stems of Pelargonium graveolens, the geranium prized as perfumery's stand-in for rose. Crushed-leaf greenness wraps around a warm rose heart, brightened by minty, citrus-like glints that keep the scent rosy, green, and lively.
We happily fill bulk orders for true geranium oil, from a handful of 5 lb pails to full 400 lb drums, all poured from the same standard as our smallest bottles. Formulators, soap and candle makers, and resellers are always welcome to reach out.

Explore Seasonal Uses →Geranium essential oil is a concentrated botanical extract, so dilute it to 0.5% to 2% in a carrier oil before applying to skin and always patch test first. Keep it away from eyes, out of reach of children and pets, and never take it internally. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dark cabinet away from direct sunlight.
