Bitter orange petitgrain

Petitgrain bigarade essential oil is extracted from the leaves of the bitter orange tree, which produces bitter oranges.

• Like its citrus cousins, petitgrain bigarade is uplifting, relaxing, and promotes sleep.

• In cosmetics, it is suitable for all skin types, and especially for oily skin due to its astringent action.

• Can be used on the skin or in a diffuser.

Precautions

• Avoid during the first 3 months of pregnancy

• Interesting fact: no, this essential oil is not photosensitizing or phototoxic (unlike other citrus fruits in general) because its essential oil is extracted from the leaves of the bitter orange tree, and not from the zest of its fruits.

To learn all about the safe and appropriate use of petitgrain bigarade essential oil for your health condition, consult an aromatherapist.
