Palmarosa oil

Palmarosa oil (CAS 8014-19-5), also traded as rusa oil and Indian grass oil, is a steam-distilled essential oil derived from Cymbopogon martinii grass. Its high geraniol content makes it a commercially significant raw material in fragrance compounding and flavor applications.

Buyers in personal care, food, and home care source it as a cost-effective alternative to rose oil in formulations requiring a floral, geranium-like character. In fragrance manufacturing, it is used to build rose, geranium, and floral accords.

This oil is utilized in fine perfumery, soaps, and functional fragrances for detergents and fabric care products. Personal care formulators incorporate it into skin moisturizers and hair care products where its geraniol content supports hydration-focused formulations.

Food and beverage producers use it as a flavoring agent — FEMA 2831 — in confectionery, baked goods, and beverages requiring subtle floral or fruity notes. This makes it a versatile ingredient for various industrial applications.

Pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturers also source it as a natural fragrance component in topical preparations and oral care products. Palmarosa oil is supplied as a pale yellow to yellow mobile liquid for industrial use.

It is available in food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications, with quality benchmarked against ISO standards and pharmacopoeial references including BP and Ph. Eur. monographs. This ensures high purity for global distribution.
