Cymbopogon martinii or Palmarosa essential oil comes from a tall grass native to India.

The natural properties of Palmarosa help to stimulate skin cell action and regulate the production of sebum levels in the skin. As a result it brings moisturise and hydration to the skin and can help with general skin appearance. It is also often used in massage oil blends to bring relief to stiff and sore muscles.

Palmarosa is used in aromatherapy to deal with nervous and mental exhaustion.
