Naturally balancing for the skin and emotions, palmarosa blends well with bergamot, cedarwood and geranium. With a beautiful fresh, green and floral scent, this soothing organic oil is steam distilled from the wild-growing grass near Tororo in eastern Uganda.  We’ve worked with a young farmer, Joel, to set up the distillery for aromatic crops grown on local farms, creating valuable employment.

A great oil

This citrusy rose smelling oil is great for so many things. I use it to help me relax when feeling stressed. I also find it great to massage my weary feet.

One of the oils you MUST have

Palmarosa is a must-have for skin, either for hydration or its anti-bacterial properties. The Neal's Yard oil is really potent and excellent quality. i wouldn't buy any other!

Unisex Oil

Suitable for troublesome skin conditions like acne or fungal conditions.. Not keen on the smell but it works on most skin irritations. I use it on my toes after showering to keep the nails fungal free and have also used it on bites or stings which is very soothing.

Interesting scent

This one smells somehow of fresh bread and freshly cut flowers? I can not even think of what else to compare it with. A very, very interesting aroma. Definitely not for everyone. I use it for its qualities and healing effects (for mind and body), not exactly for smell, as although the smell is not bad yet it is not my favourite neither. If you buy oils without smelling them, do not blame NYR for it!
