Question 1

What is the difference between Egyptian geranium and Bourbon (Réunion) geranium?

Accepted Answer

Both are Pelargonium graveolens, but from different growing regions. The Egyptian grade is more intense, fresher, with a sharper floral-green profile; the Bourbon (Réunion) grade is softer, deeper and closer to rose, and considerably more expensive. This product is the Egyptian version, an excellent working oil for cosmetic and perfumery applications.

Question 2

How should the 10 ml geranium essential oil be stored and how long does it keep?

Accepted Answer

Store in a cool, dark place below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle. Unopened, Pelargonium graveolens oil typically keeps for 2-3 years. Once opened, it is advisable to use the content within 12 months, as oxygen gradually alters the aromatic profile and may reduce the active component ratio.

Question 3

Can this geranium essential oil be applied directly to the skin, or does it need to be diluted?

Accepted Answer

Essential oils are generally diluted in a carrier oil (e.g. sweet almond, jojoba), typically at 1-3% concentration for skin preparations. For sensitive skin, a patch test on the inner elbow is recommended. For use on children or during pregnancy, please consult a qualified professional.
