Geranium oil
Description
Geranium oil (CAS 8000-46-2), also known as Oil of Pelargonium and traded as Geranium oil Algerian by origin, is a steam-distilled essential oil derived from Pelargonium species.
With FEMA 2508 recognition, it delivers a fresh, rosy-green aromatic profile that drives demand across fragrance, flavor, and personal care manufacturing sectors globally.
In fine fragrance and functional cosmetics, it acts as a mid-note fixative and natural scenting agent in perfumes, lotions, and hair care formulations for industrial use.
Food and beverage manufacturers use it as a flavoring to impart floral-fruity character in confectionery, baked goods, and beverages at trace use levels for consistent quality.
Personal care formulators incorporate it into soaps, deodorants, and skincare blends where a natural botanical fragrance is a label-differentiating factor for high-end consumer products.
Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications include flavoring oral preparations
