Origin

Pelargonium Graveolens Oil is extracted from the leaves and stems of the Pelargonium graveolens plant, a species of geranium native to South Africa. This happens via steam distillation that vaporizes the volatile compounds, which are then condensed back into liquid form, separating the essential oil from water. The oil is collected and may undergo further purification to enhance its quality and remove impurities.
