Escentia Palmarosa Pure Essential Oil is a single-ingredient essential oil from Cymbopogon martinii , valued for its fresh, uplifting aroma and its versatility in aromatherapy and diluted skin and body blends. It is commonly used in facial oils, body oils, and room fragrancing where a softer, greener floral note is wanted. This is a pure essential oil, not a ready-to-use moisturiser or body oil, so it should always be diluted appropriately before skin use. Its balanced scent profile makes it especially appealing in skin-focused and floral-herbaceous blends.

♡ Why we love it: Palmarosa has a beautifully fresh, gentle character that feels both uplifting and elegant in a blend. It is a lovely choice for makers who want an essential oil that works just as well in body care as it does in diffuser blends and more refined floral formulations.
