Overview

About Palmarosa Oil in South Africa

Palmarosa oil is steam-distilled from the grassy herb Cymbopogon martinii and is prized for a fresh, sweet, rose-like character with a faint citrus lift. Because it is naturally rich in geraniol, it serves as an economical source of rose-like top notes across fragrance and personal-care formulation.

Zentish Exim supplies palmarosa oil from qualified Indian producers with certificates of analysis and safety data sheets, in trial to drum quantities for fragrance, cosmetics and wellness applications.

South Africa is the gateway to SADC, with NRCS oversight on regulated chemical imports and SA-GHS aligned to UN-GHS. Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth are the primary ports; ocean freight runs 18-25 days.
