What is Neroli Essential Oil?
Neroli Essential Oil is derived from the flowers of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium). It is obtained through steam distillation, which captures the aromatic compounds of the blossoms to produce a fragrant, yellowish oil.
This essential oil is commonly used in skincare products for its pleasant scent and potential calming effects. Scientific research on its health benefits is still ongoing, but it is frequently included in aromatherapy for its purported stress-relief properties. In cosmetics, it's often valued for its moisturizing and skin-soothing characteristics.
When you see Neroli Essential Oil on a label, it often indicates the product may have a natural fragrance or aim to provide certain aromatherapy benefits. As an essential oil, it is used in concentrated forms and is generally considered safe when used in appropriate quantities.
