Palmarosa Essential Oil

Citrusy, rosy, and quietly enchanting. Palmarosa carries the influence of Venus, and once you smell it, you'll understand why.

Valley of the Moon's Palmarosa is a pesticide-free essential oil steam distilled from Cymbopogon martini, sourced from the Himalayan Mountains of Nepal. The unique soil and high-altitude climate of the Himalayas impart a distinctly sweet, floral-rosy aroma to this oil, richer and more complex than lower-altitude varieties. A cellular regenerative with antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal properties, Palmarosa is as beautiful in a skin care blend as it is in a diffuser.
