La Réunion Island is a volcanic island located in the Indian Ocean. It is the only place in the world where true Geranium Bourbon essential oil is produced. Geranium Bourbon oil is known for its high quality and is considered the benchmark by which all other geranium oils are judged.
Geranium Bourbon essential oil is extracted from the leaves, flowers, and stems of the Pelargonium graveolens plant. The oil is rich in Citronellol, a major component found in true Rose oils. This compound gives the oil its rosy aroma and makes it a popular ingredient in perfumes, soaps, and other personal care products.
Geranium Bourbon essential oil is only produced on La Réunion Island, which was formerly known as Île Bourbon. The name "Bourbon" is used to distinguish this oil from other types of geranium oils that are produced elsewhere. Unfortunately, some essential oils labeled as "Bourbon" may not be genuine or may be significantly cheaper than the market price. It is essential to purchase Geranium Bourbon oil from a reputable source to ensure that you are getting a high-quality product.
