Let's meet Geranium!
Geranium essential oil dates back to the Egyptian times when it was used to promote beautiful, radiant skin. It comes from the Pelargonium graveolens plant, a multibranched shrub that grows up to 5 feet tall. Geranium oil is produced by steam distilling the plant’s flowers and leaves. It also is an important ingredient in many Young Living skin care products and oil blends!

BEAUTY + HAIR + SKIN 

• Jazz up your bath by adding a few drops Copaiba and Peace & Calming to your soap and loofah for a cozy aroma and scrub.


 Mix 1 drop each of Copaiba, German Chamomile and Jasmine with your favorite unscented lotion for a luxurious body lotion scent.


Copaiba oil has a uniquely sweet aromatic profile, which won’t overpower soft florals or subtle hints of citrus. Use it in customized perfumes in place of other woodsy oils like Cedarwood or Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood oil for a more delicate summer fragrance that won’t be overpowering in warmer temperatures.


After a hard workout, strenuous hike, or overall stressful day, share a Copaiba massage with a loved one. Dilute Copaiba with V6 Vegetable Oil Complex or a carrier oil of your choice and massage on fatigued areas after activity for a comforting cooldown.


• Enjoy a foot soak by adding 1/2 cup Epsom salts into a foot bath full of warm water, and 2 drops each Panaway and Copaiba. 


REST + RELAXATION

• Add a roller fitment to your Copaiba bottle and roll on bottom of feet after a long day, your feet will thank you!


• Add 3 drops to a scoop of Epsom salts along with 3 drops Lavender for a relaxing bath.


SLEEP
• Diffuse 3 drops Copaiba with Frankincense before bedtime for a restful sleep. 




Some of Geranium's very versatile uses:

  1. Eases nervous tension and stress, balances emotions, lifts the spirit, and fosters peace, well-being, and hope.
  2. Helps to boost the overall appearance of skin
  3. If you dry brush frequently, try adding geranium first in your routine!
  4. Planning your vacation? Remember to apply Geranium to the bottoms of the feet after you’re done swimming!
  5. Add to your toner recipe! I like to do 20 drops Geranium, 10 drops peppermint with coconut water and a little bit of vitamin e oil.
  6. Diffuse Geranium, Orange & Pine for a dreamy anthro inspired blend.
  7. Soothe your skin after a long day in the sun. It's also a key ingredient in some of our skincare favorites like the ART creme masque, Renewal Serum, Animal Scents Ointment, the Seedlings line, and many of our face creams. Did we mention it is a skin loving oil? 
  8. Pro tip: add a drop to the top of your deodorant for an extra boost of scent and to help soothe your skin!
