Product Description
Geranium Essential Oil Pelargonium graveolens aromatic oil for cosmetic and fragrance formulations
Geranium Essential Oil is obtained through steam distillation of the leaves and stems of Pelargonium graveolens. The material appears as a clear liquid ranging from light yellow to greenish yellow with a distinctive floral herbal aroma with rose like notes. The oil is fully soluble in lipid phases, plant oils, waxes and emollients and disperses well in alcohol based fragrance compositions. It is not soluble in water and is incorporated into the oil phase or fragrance blends. The stable aromatic profile and compatibility with other essential oils make it widely used in cosmetic and fragrance formulations.

Jojoba oil, sweet almond oil, grape seed oil, squalane and jojoba wax are combined and heated until the wax phase melts completely. In a separate vessel purified water is heated and betaine is dissolved. Once both phases reach similar temperature the oil phase is incorporated into the aqueous phase with continuous mixing to form an emulsion. During cooling geranium essential oil and vitamin E are added and mixed until evenly distributed. The preservative system is then introduced and pH is adjusted to a balanced range suitable for cosmetic emulsions. The result is an aromatic emulsion with floral herbal fragrance.
Geranium Essential Oil is positioned for B2B cosmetic manufacturers, SPA product developers and fragrance houses. The ingredient ensures stable aromatic profile, formulation compatibility and reproducible performance in scalable industrial and contract manufacturing processes.
