This February we are loving the scent of Pink Marbacka!
How could we not? The semi-succulent geranium plant is noted for its small pink flowers in the northern part of Europe… In fact, its in Sweden where the Geranium (Pink Marbacka) is one of the most typical Swedish items you can find on doorsteps and gardens. Many people even collect these beautiful plants!
I found it interesting to learn that as a gardener, you cannot buy young plants of the Pink Marbacka in Sweeden. Growers and horticulturists have to have their own mother plants as no new variety has the same “shrimp pink” color or growth habit as Mårbacka. For this reason, many are collectors of these rare breeds of geranium. For these collectors the old Swedish varieties of geranium and wild species are the most popular. But the Pink Mårbacka is still the most popular of all.
At Terra Dolce, we work with the aroma of geranium essential oils, blending them into our Pink Marbacka body collection of nutrient rich oils, lotions, shea butters, body washes and exfoliants.
The geranium is often used as a stabilizing influence, calming both the mind and body, restoring one’s equilibrium. The soothing nature of the aroma also works to bring your emotions back to more relaxing levels when you need reclaim that balance. And who doesn’t need to reclaim it now and then?
