Our lovely Living Libations distillation of Lemon Geranium Essential Oil is from the lemony leaves of the perennial Pelargonium citronellum plant. The aromatic herb is traditionally used in culinary treats and teas for a zingy lemon flavour, and a drop or two of this essence can be used to flavour your favourite cuisine.
As with all geranium oils, Lemon Geranium Essential Oil makes a wonderfully conditioning and astringent skin toner and serum.
"The brambled cares of everyday,
The tiny humdrum things,
May bind my feet when they would stray,
But still my heart has wings...
While red geraniums are bloomed against my window glass,
And low above my green-sweet hill the [wandering] wind-clouds pass."
~ Martha Haskell Clark
