Pelargonium Graveolens is a geranium extract used in cosmetics and personal care products as a fragrance ingredient. It is known for its rose-like scent, slightly sparkling-metallic like. Pelargonium Graveolens has other skin care properties as well. This ingredient is known to create a balance between oily and dry skin by balancing the production of sebum; this balance assists in boosting and improving the elasticity of the skin. It also stimulates the lymphatic system, releasing excess water that may be retained in the tissue. This may not only prevent cellulite, but can also relieve swelling. Pelargonium Graveolens also has therapeutic abilities that can calm irritated skin, clear acne, and heal bruises, burns, cuts and eczema, due to its astringent, antiseptic, tonic, antibiotic and anti-infectious properties. So it is an amazing ingredient to use.
