Naturally balancing for the skin and emotions, palmarosa blends well with bergamot, cedarwood and geranium.
With a beautiful fresh, green and floral scent, this soothing organic palmarosa essential oil is steam distilled from the wild-growing grass near Tororo, in eastern Uganda. We’ve worked with a young farmer, Joel, to set up the distillery for aromatic crops grown on local farms, creating valuable employment.
