What is Geranium Oil?

Geranium Oil comes from the petals of the geranium flower. However, this isn’t your typical floral oil. With slightly minty undertones, Geranium has a very versatile scent that appeals to many different people—even those who don’t love an overpowering floral fragrance.

Common in skincare, body care, and even personal fragrance products, Geranium is a welcome addition to your DIY arsenal.

Geranium is wonderful for an at-home spa day or even in your household cleaning products. Here are some easy recipes.

Is Geranium Oil safe for cats and dogs?

If you’re unsure how to use essential oils of any kind around your pet, it’s best to check in with your vet. It’s important to remember to diffuse oils in small amounts around your animal, and to turn off your diffuser when you’re leaving him or her alone in the house. Geranium is known to be safe for cats and dogs, but it’s always better to play it safe by consulting your veterinarian first. That way you can keep breathing easy.
