Health Benefits of Rose Geranium

🌸 Why rose geranium essential oil is a skincare superhero

If you’ve ever wondered why we use Rose Geranium essential oil in every single Sonatur product - this is why. Known as Pelargonium graveolens in the botanical world, this floral powerhouse isn’t just fragrant as it is packed with skin-loving, body-balancing benefits.

Steam distilled from the leaves and stems of organically grown Rose Geranium plants on our farm in the South Africa, this essential oil is one of the key reasons our Sonatur natural moisturising creams are so effective for everything from psoriasis and eczema to acne, scars and aging skin.

 

Top benefits of rose geranium essential oil

1. Firms and tones your skin (Astringent)

Think of this oil as a natural skin tightener. It helps to firm up sagging skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and improve elasticity - making it a must-have for anyone focused on anti-aging skincare. It also supports muscles, gums and blood vessels by gently contracting tissues.

2. Keeps bacteria away (Antibacterial & Antimicrobial)

Rose Geranium oil acts like a natural shield for your skin. It helps prevent infection especially when applied to cuts, scratches or irritated areas. That’s why it’s amazing in creams for eczema, psoriasis, acne and even minor wounds.

3. Speeds up healing (Vulnerary + Hemostatic)

Got a scrape, surgical scar or post-acne mark? Rose Geranium speeds up skin repair by boosting blood clotting and encouraging healthy new tissue to naturally form. It even helps stop bleeding and supports faster recovery from injuries.

4. Fades scars and spots (Cicatrisant)

Say goodbye to old acne scars or stretch marks. This oil promotes even skin tone, melanin balance and blood circulation which helps to fade scars, reduce pigmentation and sunspots over time.

5. Supports cell regeneration (Cytophylactic)

This one’s for the skin nerds: Rose Geranium helps the skin regenerate by encouraging your body to replace old, dead cells with fresh, healthy ones. That means softer, smoother more radiant skin with every use.

🧠 Mood and hormone support too? Yes please.

Beyond the skin, Rose Geranium oil is also known for its uplifting aroma. It helps to balance your mood, ease feelings of stress and anxiety and even support hormone regulation especially during menopause or hormonal breakouts.
