Petitgrain Essential Oil – Herbaceous Citrus Freshness for Skin, Calm & Perfume
Petitgrain Essential Oil from Bio Shop™ is steam-distilled from the leaves and green twigs of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium). It offers a fresh, citrusy, green-floral aroma that balances beautifully between Neroli and Orange, making it a versatile ingredient in natural perfumery, skincare, and stress-relief blends.
Rich in linalyl acetate and linalool, it is known for its calming, clarifying, and antibacterial properties, ideal for acne-prone skin, emotional tension, and middle note balancing in perfume formulations.
