Rose-Sweet Grass, Distilled
$35.45$28.55Save 19%
Palmarosa oil comes from steam-distilling Cymbopogon martinii, a tall grass whose chemistry leans surprisingly close to rose. What lands in the bottle is sweet, rosy, and gently green, carrying a soft lemony hint that keeps the floral side airy rather than heavy.
Rose without the rose Naturally rich in geraniol, this grass captures a rosy character that stretches costlier rose materials in perfumery without diluting their effect.
Purity backed by testing Bottled 100% pure and undiluted, with every batch documented in our published Certificate of Analysis.
Sized for any project Available from a 0.5 oz sampler bottle up through 400 lb drums for production-scale blending.

Frequently Asked Questions
How pure is this palmarosa essential oil? ▾
Every bottle of our palmarosa essential oil is bottled 100% pure and undiluted, with nothing added. Results for this specific oil are published in our Certificate of Analysis, so you can see exactly what you're buying before it arrives.
How is palmarosa different from citronella or lemongrass? ▾
Palmarosa, citronella, and lemongrass are all Cymbopogon grasses, but palmarosa's chemistry runs high in geraniol rather than citral, which is what gives it a sweet, rose-like character instead of the sharper, more lemony scent of its cousins.
What does palmarosa smell like, and which oils pair well with it? ▾
Palmarosa carries a sweet, rosy, and gently green scent with a soft lemony whisper underneath, lighter and airier than true rose otto. It pairs especially well with geranium, bergamot, ylang ylang, and sandalwood in a diffuser or blend.
How much should I dilute palmarosa for use on skin? ▾
For facial or body oils, dilute palmarosa between 0.5% and 2% in a carrier oil such as jojoba or sweet almond. Start on the lower end for facial applications, patch test first, and increase gradually only if your skin tolerates it well.
What sizes do you offer, and is wholesale available? ▾
This palmarosa essential oil comes in ten sizes, from a 0.5 oz bottle up to a 400 lb drum, so home users, small-batch makers, and wholesale buyers can all order from the same standard. Larger sizes suit resellers and production runs.
Does buying a larger size save money per ounce? ▾
Yes. Per-ounce cost falls steadily as size increases across our ten options, and our largest 400 lb drum works out to less than half the per-ounce price of the smallest 0.5 oz bottle, making bulk sizes the better value for high-volume use.
Which size should I start with? ▾
The 0.5 oz or 1 oz bottle is a good starting point if you're new to palmarosa, the 2 oz to 8 oz range suits regular skincare or soap making, and the 16 oz bottle and larger sizes fit makers and resellers working at volume.
How fast do orders ship, and how do I check out? ▾
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days of purchase. Bulk sizes of 5 lbs and up may need a bit of extra handling time before they leave our facility. Checkout runs through our Shopify store, so payment and order tracking are handled securely there.
What does palmarosa oil look like, and how should it be kept? ▾
Palmarosa essential oil typically pours as a light yellow liquid with a viscosity close to water. Keep the cap tightly closed between uses, store it in a dim spot away from heat sources, and it should stay in good condition for about 2 to 3 years.
