Palmarosa is distilled from a grass closely related to citronella and lemongrass. Like its relatives, palmarosa has a grassy, lemony scent, but with a subtle floral-rose nuance. Palmarosa is effective in skin care products and is often used to scent cosmetics. Palmarosa is a cleansing, astringent addition to skin care products such as bath and massage oils. |

Palmarosa also called Rosha Grass and Indian Geranium (Cymbopogon martinii) is another species used in the perfume industry. It is a perennial clumping grass which grows to 150 cm with finer leaves and has a smaller bulbous base than lemongrass. The leaves and flower tops contain a sweet smelling oil which is used for the production of geraniol. It is also distilled into palmarosa oil and used in aromatherapy for its calming effect to help relieve nervous tension and stress.
