geranium oil (Pelargonium sp.) is refreshing, anti-irritant, mildly G tonic, and astringent. Although good for all skin types, it is particularly beneficial for oily and acne skins, and to those with inflammatory tendencies. The cell-regenerating activities claimed for geranium would also make it useful for aged skin. Although the many varieties of geranium-including wild geranium and english geranium-all belong to the same botanical family, their uses may differ. geranium oil is obtained by steam distillation from the entire plant, and is widely used in perfumery and cosmetics. | [EPA Substance Registry System]
