The biochemical composition of Pelargonium graveolens yields a multi-functional oil with the following specialist-grade properties:

• Dermatological (Cicatrisant & Cytophylactic): Highly effective in skin cell regeneration. It is used clinically to manage dermatitis, eczema, acne, and various inflammatory rashes, while actively promoting the fading of scar tissue.
