Palmarosa
Steam distilled from the stem/grass of Cymbopogon martinii, Palmarosa essential oil is sweet and floral, with a slight lemony aroma. This top/middle note oil blends well with Bergamot, Citronella, Jasmine, Lavender, Petitgrain, and Rose.

Add a drop or two to homemade toner and spritz on after facial cleansing, at the beginning and end of the day.
