Geranium

Pelargonium graveolens

This woody, perennial herb is a native of South Africa, but it now grows in many countries. The essential oil accumulates in small glands found in the foliage and flowers, and it blends well with other fragrances.

Geranium has recognised astringent properties for hair and skin care and it gently balances and regulates the oil-producing sebum in the skin and scalp, which is invaluable in overcoming problems with oily and dry hair. For the skin, it's suitable for all complexion types and is said to slow the skin's aging process because it acts as a stimulant to growth.

As an astringent, Geranium can help treat a long list of skin problems. The scent is good for those who feel overly emotional and seek emotional stability, and it also acts as a sedative to induce sleep.
