100% Rose Geranium Essential Oil (Pelargonium graveolens) — steam-distilled from fresh flowering aerial parts in Egypt and South Africa. High geraniol and citronellol content for hormonal balancing, stress reduction, and one of the most versatile skin oils in aromatherapy. 15mL.
The oil that finds the middle.
Hormonal fluctuations, emotional volatility, stress that feels disproportionate to its causes — these are the targets Geranium addresses. Geraniol and citronellol, its primary active compounds, interact with the body's endocrine system to support hormonal regulation. Clinical research documents Geranium's ability to reduce cortisol levels, lower psychological stress responses, and support menopausal symptom relief.
It's the oil for when you need to be steadied rather than sedated or stimulated. The one that finds the middle when everything is pulled toward extremes.

Rose Geranium
Pelargonium graveolens
Geraniol is the dominant compound in Rose Geranium and is responsible for both its rose-like scent and its documented hormonal and skin effects. It has been studied for its ability to interact with estrogen receptors and influence cortisol metabolism. Clinical research shows measurable reductions in cortisol and psychological stress scores in groups using Geranium aromatically during high-stress periods.
Skin researchers have documented geraniol's role in stimulating cell renewal and regulating sebaceous activity — making Geranium genuinely effective for both oily and dry skin conditions through the same balancing mechanism.
Hormones balanced. Skin renewed.
Geranium works on both the endocrine system and the skin's cell-renewal cycle — two distinct mechanisms producing one coherent effect.
Mental benefit
Cortisol down. Balance restored.
Geranium's geraniol interacts with the endocrine system to support hormonal regulation and measurably reduce cortisol. Clinical trials confirm reduced stress scores and improved emotional stability. It's particularly useful for the hormonal phase of the menstrual cycle when emotional volatility is driven by estrogen and progesterone fluctuation.
Physical benefit
Skin that finds its balance.
Geraniol regulates sebaceous gland activity, making Geranium effective for oily, combination, and dry skin through the same balancing mechanism. It stimulates cell renewal, supports wound healing, and has documented antimicrobial action. One of the most versatile skin-care oils across skin types.
Five ways to use it.
The balancing oil — for hormones, skin, and the emotional state that fluctuates with both.
01
Hormonal support diffusion
Add 4–5 drops to your diffuser during PMS or the luteal phase of your cycle. Geranium supports hormonal balance by moderating estrogen fluctuation and reducing cortisol — the emotional volatility of the hormonal phase responds directly to this.
02
Daily face oil
Dilute 2 drops in 10mL Jojoba Oil for a balancing face oil. Apply morning or evening to clean, slightly damp skin. Works for oily, combination, and dry skin through the same sebaceous-balancing mechanism. Consistent use shows visible results in 4–6 weeks.
03
Stress and cortisol blend
2 drops Geranium + 3 drops Lavender + 2 drops Bergamot in your diffuser during high-stress periods. Clinical research confirms measurable cortisol reduction with Geranium. This blend addresses the anxious, overwhelmed, cortisol-flooded state specifically.
04
Natural deodorant base
Dilute 3 drops in Jojoba Oil and apply to underarms. Geranium has documented antimicrobial action against odour-causing bacteria and is one of the most effective natural deodorant oils — particularly for people sensitive to conventional deodorant ingredients.
05
Menopausal symptom support
4 drops Geranium + 2 drops Clary Sage in your diffuser. For women navigating perimenopause and menopause: this combination has documented effects on hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep quality through phytoestrogen-adjacent mechanisms.
Suggested Routine
A day of Geranium.
The balancing oil — morning skin, evening hormones. Works with your cycle, not despite it.
MORNING
The morning face oil.
Two drops Geranium diluted in Jojoba Oil as your morning face oil. It regulates skin through the day, and the rose-green scent sets a grounded, present tone for the morning. For combination or hormonally reactive skin specifically.
CYCLE SUPPORT
For the hormonal days.
In the 7–10 days before your period, diffuse Geranium + Lavender in the evening. The combination addresses the specific emotional volatility driven by estrogen fluctuation. You're not managing feelings — you're working on the cause.
Q1 Can Geranium really affect hormones?
Yes — geraniol interacts with estrogen receptors and has documented effects on cortisol metabolism. It's not a replacement for medical hormone therapy but has been studied specifically for PMS symptom relief, menopausal symptom reduction, and cortisol reduction during high-stress periods. The mechanisms are documented in peer-reviewed research.
Q2 Is this the same as rose essential oil?
No — but it's related. Rose Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) is often called 'the poor man's rose' because it shares many of rose's therapeutic compounds, particularly geraniol. Genuine rose otto is extracted differently and is significantly more expensive. Geranium delivers a comparable aromatic and therapeutic profile at a fraction of the price — and in some applications (skin, hormonal support) performs equally well.
Q3 Which skin types does it work for?
All of them — through the same balancing mechanism. Geraniol regulates sebaceous gland activity, which means it reduces oil production in oily skin and supports moisture retention in dry skin. It's particularly effective for combination and hormonally reactive skin. Consistent use (4–6 weeks minimum) produces the most visible results.
Q4 Is it safe during pregnancy?
Use with caution. Geranium is considered low-to-moderate risk for aromatherapy use during pregnancy, but use cautiously in the first trimester due to its phytoestrogen-adjacent activity. Topical use should be well-diluted. Consult your midwife or healthcare provider before use during pregnancy.
Q5 How long before I see skin results?
Geranium's skin-balancing effects are accumulative. Most people see initial changes (reduced oiliness or dryness, calmer skin) within 2–3 weeks. Significant cell-renewal effects and visible skin-texture improvements typically require 4–6 weeks of consistent daily use. The key is daily application in a well-diluted carrier oil.
