Lemon Petitgrain Essential Oil

Lemon Petitgrain Essential Oil
Citrus limonum | Leaves & Twigs | Steam Distilled | Origin: Italy

Lemon Petitgrain Essential Oil is a rare and refreshing citrus green oil distilled from the leaves and twigs of the lemon tree. With its sparkling top notes of fresh lemon combined with a subtle earthy green depth, it delivers a bright yet grounding aroma that uplifts the mind while supporting balance and clarity.

Traditionally valued as a natural cleanser, Lemon Petitgrain is celebrated for its clarifying effects on skin and hair, making it a versatile addition to everyday skincare and body care routines. Its gentle antibacterial qualities help to soothe minor skin issues and support a clearer complexion when properly diluted. Emotionally, it offers a refreshing lift, helping to reduce mental fatigue and restore focus.

Unlike the more commonly known citrus oils pressed from fruit peel, Lemon Petitgrain carries a softer, more herbaceous profile with lower phototoxic risk, while still retaining the cleansing and refreshing qualities that citrus oils are loved for. Its versatility also makes it a valuable blending oil, pairing beautifully with florals, herbs, and other citruses for both aromatherapy and natural formulations.
