FEATURES

🌱 Certified Organic

100% pure organic Pelargonium graveolens — no synthetic additives, fillers, or fragrance oils. Every bottle contains only steam-distilled whole-plant geranium oil.

🇪🇬 Egyptian Nile Valley Origin

Sourced from certified organic geranium farms in Egypt's Nile Valley, where the rich alluvial soils, hot climate, and intense sunshine produce an oil with an exceptionally deep, complex rosy-floral aroma that sets Egyptian geranium apart from other origins.

♨️ Whole-Plant Steam Distillation

Distilled from the leaves, stems, and flowers of the plant. This whole-plant extraction captures the full spectrum of aromatic compounds, including citronellol, geraniol, and linalool.

🌹 Rose-Like Aroma

Often called "rose geranium" for its rose-like character. Egyptian geranium is a popular, more affordable alternative to rose essential oil in perfumery, skincare, and aromatherapy — with a deeper, more herbaceous complexity.

✨ Skincare Favorite

One of the most popular essential oils in natural skincare. Geranium is commonly used in facial serums, body oils, and moisturizers formulated for all skin types. May help support a healthy, balanced complexion.

🧘 Balancing Aromatherapy

Widely used in aromatherapy for its balancing, uplifting aroma. Commonly used to promote a sense of emotional balance and well-being — neither purely stimulating nor purely calming.

🎨 Artisan Blending

Prized by artisan skincare crafters and perfumers. Geranium blends beautifully with florals, citrus, herbs, and woods — one of the most versatile middle notes in natural perfumery.

🌿 Rose Oil Alternative

Egyptian geranium shares many aromatic compounds with rose otto and is commonly used as a more accessible alternative. A single bottle of geranium costs a fraction of pure rose oil while offering a rich, complex floral character.

🫙 Dark Glass UV Protection

Packaged in dark amber glass to shield the oil from UV light. The euro dropper cap provides precise drop control and minimizes air exposure.

🏭 Hand-Bottled in the USA

Every bottle is hand-filled and inspected at our US facility, lot-coded for traceability so each batch can be tracked back to its source.

DILUTION GUIDE

About This Oil

Egyptian geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) is a fragrant herbaceous plant in the Geraniaceae family, native to South Africa but cultivated extensively in Egypt's Nile Valley, where the unique soil and climate produce an oil of exceptional quality. Often called "rose geranium" for its rosy character, it is one of the most important essential oils in natural perfumery and skincare. Egyptian geranium is non-phototoxic but has a lower recommended topical dilution (1.5% max) than many essential oils due to its high geraniol and citronellol content, which may sensitize some skin types with frequent prolonged use.

Safe Dilution Ratios (Max 1.5%)

Egyptian geranium has a lower recommended topical dilution than many essential oils. Keep topical applications to 1.5% or below, and avoid frequent prolonged use on the same skin area.

Drop counts are approximate — actual drop size varies by dispenser.

Application Geranium Drops Carrier Oil Notes
Face & Neck 4–5 drops 1 tbsp (15 ml) ~0.8–1% dilution — gentle for daily facial skincare
Body & Massage 6–7 drops 1 tbsp (15 ml) ~1.2–1.5% dilution (max safe concentration)
Bath Soak 6–8 drops 1–2 cups bath salts Mix into salts first — never add oil directly to water
Natural Perfume 2–4 drops 10 ml roller bottle Fill remainder with jojoba or fractionated coconut oil
Diffuser 3–5 drops Water reservoir No carrier needed; diffuse 30–40 min at a time

Diffuser Ratios by Room Size

Room Size Geranium Drops Duration
Small (bathroom, closet) 2–3 drops 20–30 minutes
Medium (bedroom, office) 3–5 drops 30–40 minutes
Large (living room, kitchen) 5–7 drops 40–60 minutes

Always perform a patch test before first topical use: apply a diluted amount to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before broader application.

HOW TO USE
⚠️ Important: Maximum recommended topical dilution is 1.5%. Avoid frequent prolonged topical use on the same area. Do not use on damaged, sensitive, or irritated skin. Non-phototoxic — no UV restrictions needed.

  3. Classic pairings: Lavender (herbal-floral), Patchouli (earthy depth), and Sweet Orange (warm citrus lift).
  4. Geranium acts as a natural fixative, helping lighter scents linger longer.

Aromatherapy & Diffusing

  1. Add 3–5 drops to your diffuser's water reservoir.
  2. Diffuse for 30–40 minutes at a time, with breaks between sessions.
  3. Geranium's balanced, uplifting aroma is commonly used to create a welcoming, emotionally centered atmosphere.

  3. Geranium massage blends are commonly used for relaxation and to promote a sense of well-being.
  4. Avoid frequent prolonged use on the same skin area. Rotate with other oils for variety.

  1. Add 6–8 drops of geranium oil to 1–2 cups of Epsom Salt or Magnesium Chloride Bath Flakes.
  2. Stir thoroughly, then dissolve the salt mixture in warm bathwater.
  3. Never add essential oil directly to water — it will float undiluted on the surface and may irritate skin.
  4. A geranium bath creates a luxurious, spa-like floral experience.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is this geranium oil organic?

Yes. Our Egyptian geranium essential oil is 100% pure, certified organic Pelargonium graveolens. It contains no synthetic additives, fillers, fragrance oils, or carrier oils. It is steam-distilled from organically grown geranium plants in Egypt's Nile Valley and hand-bottled at our US facility.

What does Egyptian geranium essential oil smell like?

Egyptian geranium has a rich, rosy-floral aroma with green, herbaceous undertones and a subtle citrus-sweet finish. It is often compared to rose essential oil but with more herbal depth and complexity. The Egyptian origin is known for producing a particularly rich, full-bodied oil. As a middle note, it provides floral body and balance in blends.

What is the difference between geranium and rose essential oil?

Egyptian geranium and rose share key aromatic compounds — particularly citronellol and geraniol — which is why geranium is sometimes called "rose geranium." However, rose essential oil (Rosa damascena) is far more expensive (often 10–20x the price), has a richer, more purely floral profile, and requires vastly more plant material to produce. Geranium offers a more complex, herbal-floral character and is commonly used as an accessible alternative to rose in skincare and perfumery.

Why is the max topical dilution lower for geranium?

Egyptian geranium has a recommended maximum topical dilution of 1.5%, which is lower than many essential oils. This is because its high geraniol and citronellol content can sensitize some skin types with frequent prolonged use. This doesn't mean geranium is unsafe — just that it should be used at lower concentrations and rotated with other oils. Always perform a patch test before first use.

How do I dilute geranium essential oil for skin?

Keep topical dilutions at 1.5% or below. For face and neck, use 4–5 drops per tablespoon of carrier oil (~0.8–1%). For body and massage, use 6–7 drops per tablespoon (~1.2–1.5%). Avoid using on damaged, sensitive, or irritated skin, and rotate with other oils rather than using daily on the same area for extended periods.

Is Egyptian geranium essential oil phototoxic?

No. Egyptian geranium oil is non-phototoxic, meaning you do not need to avoid sunlight after applying it to skin. It is safe for daytime topical use.

Is geranium good for skin?

Geranium is one of the most popular essential oils in natural skincare, used in products for all skin types. It is commonly included in formulations for dry, oily, and combination skin, and may help support a healthy, balanced complexion. Use at 1% or below for facial application, diluted in a carrier oil like jojoba.

Why is Egyptian geranium considered special?

Egypt's Nile Valley provides unique growing conditions — rich alluvial soils, intense sunshine, and a hot, dry climate — that produce a geranium oil with an exceptionally deep, complex aroma. Egyptian geranium is considered the premium origin by many perfumers and aromatherapists, valued for its rich, full-bodied rosy character.

What carrier oils work best with geranium?

For facial skincare, jojoba oil is excellent — lightweight, non-comedogenic, and a great match for geranium's skin-balancing reputation. Rosehip seed oil is another popular choice for facial serums. Sweet almond oil works well for body massage. For natural perfume, fractionated coconut oil in a roller bottle is ideal. For bath soaks, use Epsom Salt or Magnesium Chloride Bath Flakes as a carrier.

Is geranium essential oil safe for pets?

Cats are particularly sensitive to essential oils because they lack the liver enzymes to metabolize certain compounds. Do not apply essential oils directly to pets, and ensure diffusing areas are well-ventilated with an exit route for animals. Consult your veterinarian before using any essential oil around pets.

How many drops are in a 15 ml bottle?

Approximately 300 drops, using the standard euro dropper cap included with each bottle. Actual count varies slightly depending on oil viscosity and dispensing speed.

How should I store geranium oil?

Store in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed. Geranium has a shelf life of 2–3 years when stored properly. Refrigeration is not required but won't harm the oil.

Can I ingest geranium essential oil?

No. Our essential oils are formulated, tested, and labeled for external use only. Essential oils are extremely concentrated. For culinary geranium flavor, use fresh scented geranium leaves instead.
