I use the geranium essential oils a lot. It's been so great for my skin. Is there more than one kind of geranium?

There are varieties of geranium yes, though lots of the qualities are same/similar for different types. Though its always wise to research before using new things to extensively! This is also like for mints or basils, there are many types but generally they are similar.

Hi Claudia! There are hundreds of species of geraniums, a handful of which are commonly used to make geranium essential oil. We love it for the skin too! It's a relatively gentle oil. Carolina geranium is not one of the common types for oil.
