Product Information
Full details
Palmarosa Essential Oil is an ideal choice for skincare enthusiasts and those seeking emotional balance, as it naturally regulates moisture levels and offers a soothing, rose-like aroma. Extracted via steam distillation from the Cymbopogon martinii grass in India, it excels at supporting cell renewal and skin health; however, it should always be diluted with a carrier oil before direct skin application to prevent irritation.

FAQs
Can I apply Palmarosa oil directly to my skin?
No, it must always be diluted in a carrier oil to prevent potential skin irritation.
Is this oil safe for children?
Consult with a professional aromatherapist or physician before using essential oils on children or infants.
How long does the scent typically last?
As a middle-note oil, the scent generally lingers for several hours when diffused or applied to the skin.
Can this be used in a bath?
Yes, but ensure you disperse the oil in a carrier oil or solubilizer first, as oil and water do not mix.
Where is the Palmarosa sourced from?
This oil is sourced from India, where it is extracted from the Cymbopogon martinii grass.
Does it smell exactly like rose oil?
It has a distinct rose-like aroma, but it is derived from grass, giving it a unique, fresh floral character.
Troubleshooting
Skin irritation after application
Immediately wash the area with mild soap and water, then dilute the oil further or stop usage if sensitivity persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Always store your bottle in a cool, dark place to maintain the oil's potency. When using topically, ensure a dilution ratio of no more than 1-2% in a carrier oil like jojoba, almond, or coconut oil. Perform a patch test on a small area of skin 24 hours prior to full application. For diffusion, follow your diffuser's manual guidelines, typically starting with 3-5 drops in 100ml of water. Ensure the bottle cap is screwed on tightly after each use to prevent oxidation.
