Points of Interest
Pelargonium panduriforme has chemical constituents not dissimilar to the very well known P. graveolens (Rose Geranium). “Panduri” is extra high in linalool, terpinen-4-ol, and limonene, with substantial viridiflorol and p-cymene. Given its own special chemistry we believe that it will prove generally superior in its health-supporting properties.
This is a new indigenous fynbos oil first distilled by Cape Fynbos Oils farmers co-operative in 2021. To the best of our knowledge we are the only producer of this oil.
