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.

symptoms of dehydration on the surface of skin, as well as in tissues under the
skin layers. Offering cell
renewal benefits, palmarosa essential oil nourishes and restores skin health
and harmony. It is also known for its ability to rejuvenate tired, sore feet,
