What other people think
'Palmarosa is probably best known as a valuable skincare oil,
hydrating and stimulating and helping to balance sebum production. Like Lavender
and Neroli, Palmarosa swtimulates cellular regeneration. Its use in skin
treatments is enhanced by its antiseptic properties which make it useful for
acne and many minor skin infections, also some forms of dermatitis.' - from
Aromatherapy an A - Z by Patricia Davis.
