Interesting Fact
Rose geranium oil was historically used as a more affordable alternative to the coveted rose oil. Its delicate, sweet, and floral aroma closely mimics the luxurious fragrance of roses, which made it a highly popular choice in perfumes and cosmetics. While true rose oil was expensive and difficult to source, rose geranium offered a cost-effective option without sacrificing quality. Beyond its fragrance, the oil also provided added benefits, such as its anti-inflammatory and calming properties, which enhanced its appeal in beauty and skincare formulations.
Origin
Rose geranium essential oil is a prized ingredient in many of Simply Bee’s skincare products, including hand creams, body butters, and night creams. This oil is derived from the Pelargonium roseum plant, which is native to South Africa. The plant flourishes in the country’s unique climate and soil conditions, making it a key region for production.
The essential oil is extracted through steam distillation, a process that preserves its rich floral scent and therapeutic properties. The leaves and flowering tops of the plant are carefully harvested and distilled to produce the oil, which is known for its natural anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and soothing benefits.
In Simply Bee’s products, this oil works wonders to nourish and hydrate the skin. It helps to balance moisture levels, providing lasting hydration, while its calming aroma creates a relaxing experience. It is also rich in antioxidants that protect the skin from environmental stressors, while helping to reduce redness and inflammation.
