- Geranium oil blends beautifully with lavender, bergamot, rose, clary sage, and citrus oils for balanced blends
- Its high citronellol/geraniol content means it is a declared sensitiser — never use neat on skin, and always patch-test first
- Avoid during early pregnancy unless under professional guidance; keep away from children and eyes
- EU 2023/1545 allergen labelling applies to any finished aromatherapy product sold in the EU: declare geranium oil, citronellol, geraniol, linalool, benzyl alcohol
