Petitgrain essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the leaves of the bitter orange (Citrus aurantium amara). Its fresh, citrusy-herbaceous scent calms the nervous system and at the same time has a soothing effect on irritated skin, acne and emotional tension. Petitgrain has been used for centuries for relaxation, balancing the skin and as an aid for insomnia and restlessness.

Petitgrain contains linalyl acetate, linalool and geraniol, which have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and calming effects. In aromatherapy it is valued as a natural antidepressant that reduces tension and anxiety. In cosmetics it helps balance oily skin and reduce the appearance of blemishes, which is why it is often included in products for the care of problem skin.
