Essentially Natural Palmarosa Pure Essential Oil is a pale yellow essential oil extracted from the leaves of Cymbopogon martinii. It has a fresh, floral, slightly rosy aroma that feels uplifting yet comforting, making it a popular choice for both aromatherapy and skin care style blends. Palmarosa is commonly used in routines aimed at balancing the feel of oily or blemish-prone skin when properly diluted. It is also often included in outdoor blends for its crisp, herbaceous-citrus character.

Q: What does palmarosa smell like?
A: It is fresh and floral with a rosy, gently grassy character that feels clean and uplifting.

Q: Is palmarosa the same as lemongrass?
A: No. They are different plants with different aroma profiles, even though they are in the same botanical family.

Q: Can I blend palmarosa with citrus oils?
A: Yes. It pairs nicely with citrus for a brighter top note, and with woods like cedarwood or sandalwood for a softer, grounded finish.

Q: Can I use it in a room spray?
A: Yes, but essential oils do not dissolve in water. Use a suitable solubiliser first, then dilute with water and shake before use.
