Neroli essential oil


Neroli essential oil is obtained from the flowers of the bitter, or Seville, orange. It has a hauntingly beautiful fragrance, even in small quantities, and is a key ingredient in classic eau de colognes.

Neroli is used in aromatherapy for treating states of anxiety and insomnia. It is particularly valuable in skincare because it stimulates skin cell growth and it can be use for all skin types, especially sensitive. Neroli is an expensive essential oil but prized because it is elegant and efficacious; it can generally be used safely in pregnancy, and in treatments to help prevent stretchmarks.
