Palmarose oilOil propertiesPalmarosa oil has a sweet floral, with a hint of rose smell and is pale yellow in color with a nearly watery viscosity.Origin of palmarosa oilIt is a wild growing, herbaceous green and straw-colored grass, with long slender stems, terminal flowering tops and fragrant grassy leaves. It is harvested before the flowers appear and the highest yield is obtained when the grass is fully dried - about one week after it has been cut.There are two varieties of grass from which the oil can be extracted - motia and sofia. We find the sofia chemotype to be far more active and pleasant smelling - and for this reason the oil sold by us is from this chemotype.Because palmarosa oil has a rose-like smell, it is often used by unscrupulous essential oil wholesalers and retailers to adulterate rose essential oil. Please note - we DO NOT adulterate any oils - we only supply pure 100% natural essential oil.It is often used as an ingredient of soaps, perfumes and cosmetics, and is also used in the flavoring of tobacco.Extraction Palmarosa oil is extracted from the dried grass harvested before it flowers by steam distillation.
