Description

Petitgrain Bigarade essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of the Bitter Orange tree (Citrus aurantium amara) grown in Paraguay.

A refreshing, green, and slightly floral citrus aroma defines this versatile oil, valued for its calming, balancing, and skin-purifying effects.

Petitgrain is regarded as a “poor man’s Neroli” due to its similar scent and mood-lifting benefits, making it a favorite for natural perfumery, personal care, and emotional well-being.

Key Benefits & High-Intent Features

  • Relaxation & Emotional Balance: Renowned for calming the nervous system, easing stress, reducing anxiety, and supporting restful sleep—great in diffusers, pillow sprays, or relaxing massage blends.

  • Skin Toning & Regeneration: Gently regulates sebum, making it a star in skincare products for oily, acne-prone, or sensitive skin, and helps balance complexions. Its cicatrisant (scar-healing) and mild antibacterial properties support skin repair from blemishes or scars.

  • Antispasmodic & Muscle Soothing: Useful in massage oils to relax muscles, ease cramps, and relieve spasm-related tension. Renowned in blends for calming spasmodic coughs and asthma.

  • Natural Antiseptic: Petitgrain’s antibacterial and antifungal action supports scalp and hair health—add to shampoos or conditioners for a refreshing boost and to help with dandruff or oily scalp.

  • Cleansing & Deodorizing: Brightens personal care products, perfumes, soaps, and deodorants, cleanses the air in home diffusions, and personalizes room sprays or natural cleaners with its crisp, clean aroma.

  • Perfume Fixative: Gives depth, freshness, and longevity to aromatic blends, beautifully layering with citrus, woody, and floral oils.

  • Mood Lifting & Mild Euphoric: Balances low mood, mental fatigue, or irritability—uplifts the spirit during times of sadness or emotional turbulence.
