Origin

Extracted from the Pelargonium graveolens plant from the Geraniaceae family, this oil has a sweet, lingering aroma. It is believed that the plants originated in South Africa. Europeans were first introduced to the sweet aroma and its powerful properties in the 17th century, meaning that Rose Geranium Essential Oil has been part of a healthy approach to living for nearly four centuries. Fun fact about the name “Pelargonium graveolens.” According to Word Sense, the word graveolens is Latin for “strong smelling.” The plant is so distinctive that the people who first discovered it attached a particularly description moniker.

Extraction

The original plant is actually quite beautiful. Pelargonium graveolens is an erect species, with velvety leaves that are soft to the touch. Flowers vary in color from pale pink to nearly-white. Both leaves and stalks are utilized during the extraction process in which steam is used to draw the rich oil from the plant.
