Jamarosa is a grass hybrid of Cymbopogon nardus
var. confertiflorus and Cymbopogon jwarancusa. Jamarosa Root
Essential Oil is most commonly used as a natural fragrance compound when
requiring a rose character. The high quantities of ocimene and geraniol present
in Jamarosa imparts it with the scents of mangoes and roses and this is how it
differs from the palmarosa. Recently, the Jamarosa products have seen a rise in
demand and commercial cultivation of the grass on a larger scale is required.
The Regional Research Laboratory (RRL) in Jammu has developed a new variety of
the Jamarosa which is called CN-5.
Like most of the celebrated herbs, Jamarosa is also
indigenous to the Indian subcontinent and is grown extensively in Southern
India and certain other states including Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and
Maharashtra.
Jamarosa Root Oil is extracted from the root part of the plant through steam distillation process, it mostly finds usage as a natural fragrance and mainly comprises a blend of geraniol and geranyl acetate.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Safety Summary
Do not take any oils internally without consultation from a qualified aromatherapy practitioner. Do not apply undiluted essential oils, absolutes or other concentrated essences onto the skin. If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage, have cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under the proper guidance of a qualified aromatherapy practitioner.
Maximum dermal use level (based on methyl eugenol content)
Safety advice
Recommended dermal maximum of 18.2%, based on 29.1% geraniol with a dermal limit of 5.3%. Considering its lack of genotoxicity, its chemo preventive activity, and the fact that anticarcinogens constitute over 60% of the oil while methyl eugenol is only found at 0–1.7%, we do not consider that citronella oil presents a material risk of carcinogenicity.
Regulatory guidelines
Has GRAS status. IFRA recommends a maximum concentration of 0.0004% methyl eugenol in leave-on products such as body lotions (IFRA 2009). The equivalent SCCNFP maximum is 0.0002%. Following a reevaluation of its safety, Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) was unable to conclude that insect repellents containing citronella were acceptable for continued use. The PMRA proposes to phase out citronella-based insect repellents unless data to address uncertainties in their human health risk assessment are generated and submitted by manufacturers. The concerns of the PMRA are that citronella oils may contain methyl eugenol, and that therefore the carcinogenic hazard posed is unacceptable, and that there are no data on reproductive or developmental toxicity.
