CBI Product Factsheet:
Rose geranium oil for
cosmetics in Europe
‘Practical market insights into your product’
Decreasing supplies of high quality rose geranium oil and an
increasing demand is leading to greater opportunities for DC
exporters to produce this fragrant essential oil. Originally
cultivated in Europe to substitute rose oil, rose geranium oil is
currently produced outside of Europe to benefit from lower
labour costs and warmer climates.
Product definition
There are hundreds of varieties of rose geranium; the most common type for
essential oil production is the Pelargonium graveolens. In addition, the P.
capitatum, P. asperum, and the P. radens are also claimed to be sources of rose
geranium oil. The cultivated species of rose geranium, called Pelargonium
graveolens, is a probable cross between Pelargonium graveolens, P. capitatum
and/or P. radens. The plant is often called a geranium because it falls under the
same plant family as the Geranium species: Geraniaceae.
Rose geranium
Originally native to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique, the plant is now
also cultivated in other parts of Africa, Europe, Asia and North America.
However, production of the essential oil is limited to China, Egypt, Algeria,
Morocco, Madagascar, South Africa and Réunion Island.
Rose geranium oil is obtained through the steam distillation of the stems, leaves
and flowers of the plant. The oil is a clear, colourless liquid and has a rose-like
odour. Historically, the oil was produced to replace the more expensive rose oil.
Currently, rose geranium oil is mostly used in cosmetics (fragrances and skin
care products) and to a lesser extent in the flavour and aromatherapy
industries.
Classification of rose geranium oil:
 Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) numbers: 90082-51-2 and 8000-46-2
 Harmonised System (HS): within the EU / EFTA, rose geranium oil does not
have a separate HS code. Instead it would be classified under:
o 3301.29: essential oils other than citrus and mint oils
 Cosing, the European Commission database with information on cosmetic
substances and ingredients, lists several derivatives of rose geranium under
their INCI names. Examples include:
o INCI name: Pelargonium graveolens oil, with masking and perfuming
properties.
o INCI name: Pelargonium graveolens flower/leaf/stem extract, with
masking and skin conditioning properties.

Trade and Macro-Economic Statistics
(!) No specific trade statistics are available for rose geranium oil. They are
included in the trade data on ‘essential oils, non-deterpenated, other than those
of citrus fruit, mint, niaouli and ylang-ylang’.
Supply of the different varieties of rose
geranium oil
 World market demand for the various
geranium oils is estimated at 400 tonnes per
year. Of that, the market for rose geranium
oil is about 100 tonnes.
 High-quality rose geranium oil – the Bourbon
oil variety – is mainly produced in Réunion
Island (10 tonnes), Algeria and Morocco
(together 10 tonnes), South Africa and
Madagascar (a few tonnes each). Supplies
from Réunion Island have been decreasing.
Several African countries (Rwanda and the
Congo) are starting to produce oil to fill in
this gap in the supply. It is estimated that
Rwanda, which currently produces 1.5
tonnes, will reach a production of 10 tonnes
of organic oil by 2016-17.
 Both China and Egypt produce significant
quantities of lower quality rose geranium oil.
Production in China is increasingly for
domestic consumption, resulting in annual
exports of around 20 tonnes. Egypt produces
close to 60 tonnes per year, mostly destined
for exports to the EU.
 Rose geranium oil has historically been
produced in Europe. However, production is
currently too expensive since it is labour
intensive and measures need to be taken to
protect the plants from frost. As a result,
Considerations for action:


Make use of the apparent limit in the supply
of good quality rose geranium oil by starting
or increasing production. Ensure that you can
deliver sufficient quantities of the oil.
Keep a close watch on the future production
of rose geranium oil in countries such as
Rwanda and Congo. You may request such
information from your buyers. These
countries are currently starting production
and may become important competitors in
the future.

most demand for rose geranium oil is met by
imports.
Western European countries (France, the UK,
Spain, Italy and the Netherlands) as well as
Russia are estimated to be the largest
importers of rose geranium oil. France
imports most of the rose geranium oil from
Réunion Island (10 tonnes) and is considered
to be the largest importer.
Demand for rose geranium oil is mostly for
use as an ingredient in perfume. In addition,
rose geranium oil is used in the flavour
industry and for aromatherapy. For use in
perfumes, the Bourbon variety is the
preferred oil.
Both the global personal care industry and
the fragrance market are expected to grow,
creating more demand for products such as
rose geranium oil, which are used in a wide
variety of perfumes and cosmetic products.
In 2012, the global personal care industry
was predicted to reach € 487 billion by 2017,
with an annual growth of 3.4 %. The global
fragrance market grew even further, growing
annually by 10.9% and reaching € 17.9

these segments are limited as a result of the
high price of the oil.
There is a market for fairly traded rose
geranium oil. This oil does not necessarily
need to be certified. Consumers and
cosmetics producers are increasingly
interested in the story behind ethically
sourced and processed final products.
Whether fair trade certification is necessary
depends on your buyer’s preferences. They
may require certification as an assurance for
fairly traded products.
There is a demand for organically certified
rose geranium oil, but availability is rather
low. The global organic geranium oil market
is estimated to be around 7-10% of the total
market and valued at € 9.8 billion (US$ 13
billion). Please note that the potential for
organic certification depends on your
prospective buyer.

Prices
Price and yield of rose geranium oil
 Bourbon rose geranium oil is regarded to
have the best quality and fetches the highest
price. Even though oils from South Africa or
Algeria and Morocco are similar in quality,
they can fetch a slightly lower price. Chinese
and Egyptian oils are located at the bottom of
the price range as these oils are of lower
quality and show major variations in odour.
 The Bourbon variety rose geranium oil is
priced at € 200-220 per kg for conventional
oils and around € 250 per kg for high-quality,
organically certified oils. Egyptian and
Chinese oils (not of the Bourbon variety) are
priced at around € 125 per kg. These prices
are rather volatile.
 The yield of rose geranium oil is in the region
of 0.30-0.50 %. For 1 kg of rose geranium
oil, around 300-500 kg of plant material is
needed. Oil yield is about 30-50 kg per year
per ha of cultivated rose geranium.
Considerations for action:
 Monitor harvests in major production
countries to anticipate price developments for
your specific rose geranium oil. You may
request such information from importers.
 Ensure that your prices reflect the quality of
your product. Different composition of the oil
results in different quality, you should change
your price accordingly.
 Distil close to the harvesting location in order
to preserve quality and to save costs on
transporting large amounts of raw material to
distillation sites.
 Optimise the yield of rose geranium
cultivation and distillation to lower your cost
price:
o Cut rose geranium plants at 15 cm above
ground to allow the re-establishment of
new leaves. As such, plants can be
harvested 3-4 times per year. Ensure that
the first harvest is 6-8 months after
plantation to allow the plant to grow to
the right size.
o Harvest the leaves and young shoots of
rose geranium as these contain the most
oil.
o Only harvest plants after 1 or 2 dry days
as humidity during harvesting can result
in a lower oil yield. Also stop irrigation
before harvesting to increase the oil yield.
o The distillation still needs to be packed
tightly to increase oil recovery.

Market competitiveness
Advantages for the cultivation of rose
geranium in DCs
 Cultivation, hand weeding and harvesting of
rose geranium is labour intensive. Therefore,
countries with low labour costs have a
competitive advantage over European
countries where production is more
expensive.
 Warm climates have been shown to increase
the herbage growth and total essential oil
yield of rose geranium (Pelargonium
graveolens). In addition, rose geranium is not
resistant to frost. Therefore, subtropical
regions have an advantage over temperate
regions, such as several European countries.
 The summer season is generally the best
season for geranium oil production, as oil
content increases in summer.
 Réunion Island is part of the EU as it is an
overseas department of France. As such, it
has the same status in the EU as France itself
and thus has no limitations on exports. This
gives exporters from Réunion Island a
competitive advantage over exporters from
other countries.
 As the distillation of rose geranium requires
limited know-how, technological barriers to
enter the markets for rose geranium oil are
relatively low. However, steam distillation
requires significant investments.
Considerations for action:


Rose geranium oil faces competition from


For more information on the cultivation of
rose geranium, check the information
available on websites such as Plants For a
Future or BioAfrica.
If you are based in a country with a warm
climate and low labour costs, you can
produce rose geranium oil at lower
production costs.

If you are based on Réunion Island, take
advantage of the unlimited exports to the EU.

Producers of rose geranium oil can cooperate
to share the investment in distillation
equipment. Additionally, when you master
steam distillation of one essential oil, the
same machinery can be used to distil other
plants for essential oils.
