Did you know there are over 700 varieties of Geranium? These vibrant, fragrant flowers might be a familiar sight in your garden. Still, their benefits go far beyond their ornamental beauty. Geranium Essential Oil—specifically the botanical version, pelargonium graveolens,—has been treasured since ancient Egypt for its skin-enhancing and wellness properties. Today, it's one of the seven star ingredients in Apothesea's Vital7 Youth Complex, where it plays a vital role in promoting balanced, youthful-looking skin.
The Power Behind the Petals
At the heart of every drop of Geranium Essential Oil is a rich, floral aroma with hints of mint, spice, and rose—a scent that hints at the potent botanical active components inside. But this oil offers much more than a lovely fragrance. Geranium is celebrated for its hydrating, balancing, and skin-smoothing properties, making it a hero ingredient in any anti-aging routine.
Let's explore how Geranium Essential Oil supports the skin—and why it's a key player in Apothesea's Vital7 Youth Complex.
Skin Benefits of Geranium Essential Oil
1. Balancing
Whether your skin is oily, dry, or somewhere in between, Geranium Essential Oil helps regulate sebum production and maintain the skin's natural moisture barrier. This makes it ideal for balancing the skin that feels out of sync due to stress, hormonal shifts, or seasonal changes.
2. Comforting & Soothing
Geranium is naturally antibacterial, which makes it a calming companion for skin experiencing redness, irritation, or breakouts. It supports skin regeneration and helps refine texture and tone while leaving a soft, radiant glow in its wake.
3. Firming & Elasticity-Boosting
As we age, skin loses some of its natural bounce. Geranium Essential Oil helps improve elasticity, softening the look of fine lines and promoting a firmer, more supple appearance over time.
What Is the Vital7 Youth Complex?
Developed by Apothesea, the Vital7 Youth Complex is a proprietary blend of seven high-performance botanicals that work harmoniously to support visibly youthful skin. Carefully selected for their nourishing, antioxidant-rich profiles, these ingredients target signs of aging while revitalizing and hydrating the skin at a cellular level.
