100% essential oil Geranium true or Geranium Zdravets (Zdravetz)

INCI: Geranium Macrorrhizum Leaf Oil

Country of origin: Bulgaria

True Geranium or Geranium Zdravets (Geranium macrorrhizum) Unlike commonly known geranium oils (genus Pelargonium), it has a completely different chemical profile and aroma. It is earthier, herbal, and slightly spicy with woody undertones. It contains unique ingredients like germakrone, which give it strong anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective properties.

It is used in aromatherapy to create a positive, romantic atmosphere and to increase energy levels. Its deep, grounding aroma also makes it a popular tool for energy cleansing and ritual practice. This is a rare oil, which is produced in small batches for those looking for true natural quality and exceptional effects.

In cosmetics, this essential oil is sought after for its brightening effects on skin with pigment spots and for its ability to protect cells from oxidative stress.
