Description
Geranium Bourbon Essential Oil – The “Rosy” Standard of Madagascar
Our Geranium Bourbon Oil is produced in the Antsirabe region of Madagascar, where the high-altitude climate mimics the conditions of the original Reunion Island terroir, preserving the coveted “Bourbon” chemical profile. Unlike other varieties, our Madagascar origin oil possesses a cleaner, more vibrant “green” note alongside its floral dominance.
Technical Profile & Purity:
- Botanical Name: Pelargonium graveolens
- Origin: Antsirabe, Madagascar
- Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
- Appearance: Pale yellow to greenish-yellow liquid
- Odor: Sweet, herbaceous, heavy rose-like floral, with a fresh minty-fruity nuance.
Key Chemical Constituents:
Based on our latest Chromatographic profile, our oil is chemically robust:
- -Citronellol (20% – 22%): The primary alcohol responsible for the fresh, rosy scent.
- Geraniol (14% – 19%): Adds the sweet, floral warmth essential for perfume hearts.
- Citronellyl Formate (11% – 15%): A critical ester that provides the characteristic “fruity/berry” top note unique to the Bourbon type.
- Guaiadiene-6,9: A distinct sesquiterpene marker confirming the authenticity of the Madagascar origin.
Quality Assurance:
Our oil is free from adulteration and synthetic additives. The density typically ranges between 0.890 and 0.900 at 20°C, ensuring a pure, un-rectified whole oil suitable for therapeutic and industrial use.
Applications of Geranium Bourbon Oil
- Fine Perfumery: Used extensively as a heart note to simulate rose accords (Rhodinol substitute) or to add fresh, floral lift to chypre and fougère fragrances.
- Skincare Formulations: Highly valued for its balancing effect on sebum production. It is a popular active ingredient in lotions and creams for oily, acne-prone, or mature skin due to its astringent and antiseptic properties.
- Aromatherapy: Known as a “balancing” oil, it is used to alleviate stress, anxiety, and hormonal imbalances (such as PMS or menopausal symptoms) via diffusion or massage blends.
- Natural Preservative: Its high geraniol and citronellol content provides strong antimicrobial activity, supporting the stability of natural cosmetic formulations.
- Insect Repellent: Acts as a natural deterrent against mosquitoes and ticks, often blended with Lemongrass or Citronella for functional fragrance sprays.
