What are the benefits of rose geranium essential oil?

The fungicidal action of these molecules limits the proliferation of micro-organisms involved in acne, such as Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis. In addition, this essential oil regulates sebum production and matifies oily skin that tends to shine.
- Anti-inflammatory, it soothes redness.
The monoterpene esters present in rose geranium essential oil have a beneficial effect on acute and chronic inflammation. In addition, a study has demonstrated the inhibitory action of citronellol on mast cell degranulation and thus on the release of large quantities of histamine, which promotes inflammatory responses.
- A tonic, it firms the skin.
