Geranium Essential Oil

INCI Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil

Overview

A bright, rosy-green essential oil distilled from geranium leaves and stems.

What it is

Geranium Essential Oil is distilled from Pelargonium graveolens, a fragrant relative of the garden geranium. It carries a bright, rosy scent with a green, herbaceous edge.

Where it comes from and how it’s made

Pelargonium graveolens is grown widely, with significant production in Egypt and Réunion. The leaves and stems are steam-distilled to draw out the essential oil.

What it does in a formulation

Contributes a bright, rosy-green note to a finished product’s scent profile.

Why Lovebee uses it

Geranium gives us that lovely rosy quality without the cost or intensity of true rose oil — it’s a bright, versatile note we like working into floral-leaning blends.

Good to know

Used throughout our blended topical products; sold on its own as a single-note oil, it’s intended for diffuser use only.

Common questions

What does Geranium Essential Oil smell like?

Bright and rosy with a green, herbaceous edge.

Is Geranium the same as Rose Geranium?

They’re closely related, both coming from Pelargonium species with a similarly rosy character.

Can I apply this essential oil directly to my skin?

Not as a standalone oil — on its own, it’s intended for diffuser use only. You’ll already find it safely blended into a number of our topical products, though.
