Palmarosa – Cymbopogon martini

Known since ancient times Palmarosa is a tufted grass from the same aromatic family as Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) and Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus). Originally from India it was traded through Persia and then to Constantinople, where it became known to European traders as Turkish or Indian Geranium Oil.

The perfume is sweet, grassy with a floral, rosy fragrance.

It has a calming and uplifting effect on the emotions and helps to reduce stress, nervous exhaustion and anxiety.

Palmarosa is the finest essential oil for all skin types. It is antiseptic, has moisturising properties, stimulates cell regeneration and regulates sebum production. It is recommended as a treatment for problems such as acne, dermatitis, eczema, rosacea, scars, sores and skin infections.

It is used widely in perfumery and soap-making as, unlike other oils, it retains its perfume. In India the oil is massaged into the joints to alleviate the pain of arthritis and rheumatism, as well as general muscle aches, making it ideal to mix into your massage blends.

Use it in massage, compress, bath and skin care or a few drops in your diffuser. Palmarosa is non-toxic, non-irritating and non-sensitising though we recommend skin patch testing and using no more than 6% in your topical preparations.

So there you have it, just some of the amazing qualities of this wonderfully versatile Essential Oil.

We love it and know you will too.


Method of extraction – Steam distilled from wild growing, fresh or dried grass of C. martini

Characteristics – Sweet, grassy and rose-like fragrance.

Common uses – Related to Lemongrass and Citronella. In a variety of studies this oil demonstrated excellent bactericidal effects, stronger than Tea Tree and gentler on the skin then oils like Oregano.

A good overall tonifying essence, Palmarosa is also useful in skin care for its hydrating benefits.

Questions of our Essential Oils

Can I ingest / eat the essential oils?

Regarding our essential oils, they are all top quality and we can provide a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) on request (they are tested every batch, so the CoAs change regularly).

However no essential oils are considered food-grade by law in Australia, though these are as good quality as you can get.

Technically in Australia you’re not supposed to use any essential oils internally, as they are classed a poison by the TGA.

What you do with a product once it’s in your hands is up to you.

What is the difference between essential & fragrance oils?

Essential oils are derived from natural plant material through distillation or cold pressing, and are highly concentrated with the natural aromatic compounds of the plant.

They are known for their therapeutic properties and are commonly used in aromatherapy and other wellness applications.

Fragrance oils, on the other hand, are synthetic scents that mimic natural materials, and are used primarily for their scent in products like perfumes, candles, and other scented items.

While essential oils offer physical and emotional benefits, fragrance oils are solely for scent.

If you’re looking for natural, therapeutic benefits, choose essential oils.

If you simply want a pleasant aroma that is cheaper, fragrance oils are a good option, though we are discontinuing these…

Can I travel with / take the hemp products overseas?

That’s hard for us to say if it’s ok to use overseas, as we are not lawyers, though some people do travel with their hemp products, and we do send them overseas to NZ, USA, UK too.

It would be up to you if you did take it with you, and check if the country (or any you transit through) has any issues with hemp products.
