Gently swaying in the fields of India and Nepal, palmarosa has been cherished for centuries for its delicate, rosy-citrus aroma and versatile nature. Harvested just before it blooms and carefully distilled, this long-leafed grass produces a beautifully fragrant oil that has been used in traditional practices and daily rituals. Known for its ability to keep skin feeling soft and balanced, palmarosa is a popular choice in skincare routines. Its refreshing scent also makes it a wonderful addition to aromatherapy, bringing a sense of harmony and comfort to any space.
