Common Uses:
Did You Know? Palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii) is a remarkable grass belonging to the lemongrass family. It has an impressive adaptability, thriving in both wet marshes and dry, rocky terrains. This makes the plant an asset in various ecosystems and a resilient choice for cultivation across diverse climates. The essential oil derived from this grassy wonder carries a sweet, floral fragrance similar to roses. This is due to its high geraniol content, a compound also found in rose oil. Consequently, Palmarosa oil has been selected as a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to rose oil in perfumery, cosmetics, and aromatherapy.
