Citrus Aurantium Leaf Oil

Guaranteed 100% natural product

Petitgrain oil is an essential oil derived from the leaves and twigs of various citrus trees. Despite its name, which means "little grain" in French, petitgrain oil is not extracted from the fruit but rather from the green parts of the citrus trees.

The oil is obtained through steam distillation of the leaves and twigs, resulting in a pale yellow to amber-colored liquid with a fresh, floral, and slightly woody aroma. It's often used in perfumery and aromatherapy for its uplifting and refreshing scent.

Petitgrain oil is known for its calming and balancing properties, making it useful for reducing stress, anxiety, and nervous tension. It is also believed to have antiseptic, deodorizing, and antispasmodic properties, which can benefit skin care and massage applications.

In aromatherapy, petitgrain oil is commonly used in diffusers or added to massage oils, bath blends, and skincare products. It blends well with other essential oils such as lavender, bergamot, geranium, and cedarwood.
