Palmarosa is one of nature’s star upholders of skin health. Because of this, palmarosa often finds a place in our skin care routines, for both our faces and bodies. The name palmarosa was given to this unique therapeutic plant because its fragrance is similar to that of rose oil. In the historical times, the Turks and Indians combined palmarosa essential oil with rose oil. While palmarosa pure essential oil has numerous therapeutic uses, it is more frequently used for cosmetic or rose solutions due to its moisturizing properties.

Cymbopogon martini is an evergreen, tufted, aromatic grass with numerous erect culms arising from a short, stout, woody rhizome. The stems are up to 3 metres tall. The plant has been gathered from the wild since antiquity, and this method still produces an important portion of the essential oil. However, the plant has also been cultivated since the beginning of the 20th Century and is now grown in several areas of the tropics. Palmarosa oil has gradually lost importance in the world market, being replaced by low-cost synthetic or natural geraniol. The natural oil is still preferred in high quality perfumes, however, especially in the Middle East.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Safety Summary

· Hazards: Drug interaction; skin irritation (low risk)

· Cautions:

Oral - Drugs metabolized by CYP2B6.

Maximum dermal use level - 6.5% .

Safety advice a dermal maximum of 6.5%, based on 81% geraniol content with a dermal limit of 5.3% is advised.

Organ Specific Effects

· Adverse skin reaction: In a mouse local lymph node assay, palmarosa oil was a weak sensitizer, with a similar potency to geraniol. Undiluted palmarosa oil was moderately irritating to rabbits, but was not irritating to mice; tested at 8% on 25 volunteers it was neither irritating nor sensitizing. It is non-phototoxic.

Systemic Effects

· Acute Toxicity: Non toxic. Palmarosa oil acute oral LD50 in rats >5 g/kg; acute dermal LD50 in rabbits >5 g/kg.

· Carcinogenic/anti carcinogenic potential: No data found, but it contains no known carcinogens. Geraniol, farnesol, bcaryophyllene and geranial display anticarcinogenic activity. Considering these constitute 85% of palmarosa oil, it is very likely to possess anticarcinogenic activity.

· Drug interactions: Since citral and geraniol inhibit CYP2B6, there is a theoretical risk of interaction between palmarosa oil and drugs metabolized by this enzyme.
