This palmarosa grows on the tropical island of Madagascar. There, the plant, which is native to the area, has optimal growing conditions. The stimulating, tropical and oceanic climate, with both humidity and dryness as well as hot and cold weather, allows the plant to develop a balance of valuable components and aromas including geraniol and citral. Following harvesting, the natural essential oil is extracted from the plant via steam distillation.
We source this essential oil from a renowned and certified producer in the Provençal countryside of Valréas in the north of Provence in France. The company was founded around 1980 and owns plantations and farms with essential oil plants worldwide. The origin and quality of the plants are very well documented. The company works professionally and passionately according to quality standards and with many years of experience.
The oil is extracted by steam distillation directly after harvesting on the farm in compliance with the highest quality standards. Thanks to their many years of experience, the distillers use a particularly gentle distillation process at low water pressure, which leads to an almost complete extraction of the valuable phytochemicals. Its products are certified with the French organic seal EcoCert.
Palmarosa belongs to the sweetgrass (Poaceae) family. It is mainly found in tropical regions such as Asia and Africa and is similar to lemongrass, although it prefers hotter and more humid growing conditions. It can grow up to 1.5m tall.
This sensual, gentle bouquet of citrus freshness, floral sweetness and a grassy, tart nuance has an uplifting, balancing effect on the psyche and nervous system and provides soothing comfort.
