Geranium, a member of the Pelargonium genus, is cultivated for both its beauty and the benefits it offers in perfumery. While there are over 200 varieties of geraniums, only a few are used to produce essential oils. The uses of Geranium oil date back to ancient Egypt, where it was used to beautify the skin. In the Victorian era, fresh geranium leaves decorated tables and were sometimes eaten as an accompaniment to meals. Geranium oil promotes healthy skin and hair, making it an ideal addition to skin care products. Additionally, its scent helps to calm the nerves and relieve stress. Geranium is also a natural insect repellent.
