Description and Uses:

Organic Petitgrain Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves and stems of the same tree that produces Neroli—the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. amara). While Neroli is distilled from the flowers, Petitgrain comes from the greenery, giving it a fresh, green-floral citrus aroma with a warm, soothing undertone. The two oils share many traditional aromatherapy qualities, though Petitgrain is also especially known for its deodorizing character.

Petitgrain is widely loved for helping to ease anxiety and stress, and it’s often chosen during times of nervous exhaustion or when the mind feels overworked. Its effect is both revitalizing and relaxing—helping you feel more refreshed without overstimulation. Because of this calming influence, Petitgrain is also a wonderful oil to support bedtime routines and ease a busy mind when sleep is elusive.

In skincare, Petitgrain is traditionally valued for its toning properties and is often found in facial and body care products for its fresh scent and skin-balancing feel. It’s also lovely as a simple hair rinse: add 2 drops to rinse water for a fresh, healthy hair finish.

Traditional Uses: calming emotional support, stress and nervous tension routines, deodorizing blends, skin toning care, sleep support rituals, fresh natural perfumery top note.

Toning Skincare Blend (Dilute Properly)

Add to a facial oil or lotion blend for a fresh, balancing, toning effect.

Hair Rinse
