Rose geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) is most often used in the form of Essential oil and although it is widely available, I don’t often see it listed as an ingredient in skin care or cosmetics. I think it’s just one of those things that hasn’t caught on yet, because historically it has been effective in balancing “T” zone skin, acne, eczema and Rosacea. It’s has anti-inflammatory properties which means it’s great for skin with issues of all kinds. Skin that’s red or irritated will benefit from this herb.
So…think soothing and healing. Plus it smells great! It’s like a combination of Rose and lemon, very fresh and uplifting. Who needs synthetic scent when nature gives us these great smells?
.5-1.0% essential oil added to a formula is enough to impart scent and all the goodness of this little known herb.
