Umuthi Palmarosa Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the dried grass of Cymbopogon martinii . It has a fresh, floral, rose-like aroma and is sometimes used as a more economical rose-style note in natural perfumery and body care. Although it is also known as Indian Geranium, Palmarosa is a tall grass in the same broader family as citronella and lemongrass, giving it a beautifully fresh botanical character.
It is a lovely choice for skincare lotions, massage blends, foot care products, and relaxing aromatic blends. Why we love it: Palmarosa gives makers a soft, rosy floral note with a fresh grassy edge. It is especially useful in skincare and body care where you want something elegant, hydrating-feeling, and more affordable than true rose oil.
