Petitgrain Bigarade Organic Essential Oil

Our organica Petitgrain Bigarade Essential Oil, also known as Bitter Orange Leaf Oil, is steam distilled from the vibrant green leaves and twigs of the Citrus aurantium amara (Bitter Orange) trees, commonly called Bigaradia trees, which flourish in the forests of Paraguay. Petitgrain Oil is highly valued in the perfume industry for its fresh, leafy-green, slightly floral, citrus scent, making it a versatile addition in many different applications.

The sweet, uplifting aroma of Petitgrain Bigarade Oil is known for its positive impact on the mind, and aromatherapists frequently use it as an alternative to Orange Blossom or Neroli for easing anxiety and combating mental exhaustion. Thanks to its unique chemical profile, Petitgrain Essential Oil is particularly effective in fostering a calm, soothing atmosphere, promoting a sense of relaxation and tranquility.

SAFETY

Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult a physician. Avoid contact with eyes.

Do not use internally unless instructed by a licensed aromatherapist or physician. Essential oils are highly concentrated and powerful oils and can cause serious harm if ingested without the necessary expertise required - for this reason, ingestion of essential oils is NOT recommended.
