Pelargonium, commonly known as Geranium, is a fragrant aromatic plant with a long history of traditional use. Native to the Mediterranean region and Southern Africa, it is especially valued for its delicate, rose-like aroma and its versatile applications in aromatherapy and natural perfumery. Botanically known as Pelargonium graveolens, the plant is distinguished by its richly scented leaves and flowering tops.
Goya Botanicals Pelargonium Essential Oil is carefully distilled from the leaves and flowering aerial parts of Pelargonium plants grown in the sun-rich landscapes of southwest Turkey. Through gentle, unpressurized steam distillation, the plant’s natural aromatic profile is preserved, resulting in a refined and well-balanced essential oil.
