From the Hills of India to Your Hands

A wild grass that smells, improbably, of roses.

- Native to India and harvested across Nepal and Madagascar, Cymbopogon martinii is a tall, slender grass cousin of lemongrass and citronella.

- Traditionally called "Indian geranium," its oil has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic skincare and as a natural fragrance for textiles.

- Steam-distilled from the dried, partially fermented grass — a patient process that coaxes out its rosy-green soul.

SAFETY

Dillution guideline

  • For topical use, dilute to 1–3% in a carrier oil such as jojoba, argan or sweet almond (around 6–18 drops per 30 ml).

  • Patch test

Apply a diluted drop to the inner forearm and wait 24 hours before broader use.

  • Children

Generally considered gentle from age 2+ at low dilution (0.5–1%); avoid on infants and consult a qualified aromatherapist.

  • Pregnancy

Best avoided during the first trimester; consult a qualified healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or nursing.

  • Pets

Keep diffusion sessions short and the room ventilated; avoid direct application on pets, especially cats and birds.

  • Photosensitivity

Not typically associated with photosensitivity.

  • Ingestion

Do not ingest unless under the guidance of a qualified professional.

  • Storage

Store tightly capped in a cool, dark place away from sunlight and heat; shelf life around 3–4 years.
