Puressentiel Organic Litsea Cubeba Essential Oil is a pure essential oil obtained by complete steam distillation of the fresh fruits of Litsea cubeba, also called exotic or tropical verbena. Its scent is light and lemony, close to that of lemongrass oils. It comes in a 10ml amber glass bottle with a dropper cap, to use diluted in the bath, in a massage or in face, hair and body care.

Key Benefits

  • Light lemon scent: a fresh, citrus aroma from the fresh fruits of the tree.
  • Several uses: diluted in the bath, in a massage oil or in face, hair and body care.
  • Defined quality: botanically and biochemically defined, so the plant and its main molecules are identified.
  • Certified organic: all the ingredients come from organic farming, COSMOS ORGANIC certified by Ecocert Greenlife.
  • Dropper bottle: about 30 drops per milliliter, to dose one drop at a time.

Key Ingredients

Organic Litsea cubeba fruit oil, from the Lauraceae family, is the only ingredient. Its main natural components are geranial, neral and limonene; citral, limonene, linalool, geraniol and citronellol are listed on the label. Native to Asia, litsea is a small evergreen tree with clusters of white flowers.

Puressentiel advises against using Litsea Cubeba Essential Oil during pregnancy. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
