Contrary to what the name suggests, this is not a flower but a grass-like plant from the lemon grass family. The Latin name is \u003cem\u003eCymbopogon Martinii\u003c\/em\u003e, and the plant grows mainly in India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oil is botanically related to lemongrass and citronella, but has a much softer, more floral profile due to its high content of geraniol (often 75 to 85%). This puts palmarosa in a unique position: a tropical grass with the appearance and scent of a flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalmarosa blends beautifully with floral oils such as geranium, ylang ylang and lavender, with citrus oils such as bergamot and mandarin, and with woody oils such as sandalwood and cedarwood. It is a popular choice for nourishing formulations and gentle perfume blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is Palmarosa Essential Oil made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalmarosa is extracted by steam distillation of the fresh or semi-dried grass. This process releases the volatile aroma molecules, which are captured and condensed into oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause palmarosa is a grass and not a citrus plant, the oil does not contain furocoumarins and is therefore not phototoxic. The high content of geraniol provides the soft, rosy character and good skin compatibility, palmarosa is known as one of the more skin-friendly essential oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits of Palmarosa Essential Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePromotes a healthy skin barrier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePalmarosa is valued in formulations that support the skin barrier.

Palmarosa naturally contains allergens such as geraniol, citronellol, linalool and limonene. When you combine multiple essential oils in one recipe, these allergens accumulate and you can quickly exceed the legal allergen limits. A working dose of 1 percent gives you the space to use multiple oils in one recipe without going over those limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor products that you rinse off, such as soap, shower gel or shampoo, longer maximums apply because the oil does not remain on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot recommended for use during pregnancy without consultation with an expert. Keep out of reach of children. When in doubt or with sensitive skin, always test on a small area first and wait 24 hours before using it on larger areas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Natural Heroes","offers":[{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":53165521862999,"sku":"PAEO-NH-1","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 ml","offer_id":53165521895767,"sku":"PAEO-NH-2","price":17.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/5214\/4215\/files\/palmarosa-30ml.png?v=1774934757","url":"https:\/\/alhalalcosmetics.nl\/en-nl\/products\/palmarosa-ethereal-olive","provider":"Halal Cosmetics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
