Neroli Essential Oil

NEROLI ESSENTIAL OIL

From the Far East to the Mediterranean west (and everywhere in between), Neroli Essential Oil is highly prized for its wide range of wellness benefits.  

Distilled from the flowers of the Citrus aurantium tree originally found in Asia – the same tree that produces Petitgrain Oil (distilled from the green twigs and leaves) and Sweet Orange Oil (extracted from the fruit rind) - Neroli Oil carries a rich, floral aroma laced with delicately sweet top notes. In addition to its pleasantly balanced scent, the benefits of Neroli Essential Oil are extensive, proving effective as a skin support and well known for promoting emotional stability and instilling calm. 

Beautifully scented and broadly versatile, Neroli Oil suits many applications, ranging from aromatherapy to cosmetics, perfumery, and general health.

• The chemical composition of Neroli oil includes powerful esters, terpenes and other organic molecules that offer extensive therapeutic benefits and promote wellness.

• Skin Serum: Add a few drops to a carrier oil of choice; we recommend Jojoba Oil or Rosehip Oil as these carrier oils are well known for their skin benefits. Once diluted, apply nightly to desired areas, avoiding your eyes and sensitive areas. Alternatively, you can add a couple of drops to your existing skincare products (cream / lotion) to boost their healing properties.
• Bath: Add a couple drops of Neroli Essential Oil to a warm bath to promote emotional support and assist with PMS symptoms.
• Fast Remedy: Add 1-2 drops of Neroli Oil to a tissue and inhale at a distance while ensuring that the oil does not come into direct contact with your skin. Alternatively, you can smell the oil directly from the bottle!
