Litsea Cubeba Fruit Oil

The sweet, lemony and refreshing aroma of litsea cubeba oil uplifts the mind to help aid in relaxation.

The Litsea cubeba, or May Chang tree, is a small evergreen tree native to China and belonging to the laurel (Lauraceae) plant family. The oil is extracted by steam distillation from its round, berry-like fruits.

What are the benefits of litsea cubeba oil?

Toning

Uplifting

Litsea cubeba oil contains approximately 80% citral, a fragrant compound with a fresh lemon peel scent, not too dissimilar to lemongrass. The oil is often used in skincare for its astringent properties that help balance the skin’s sebum production. It is also often used alongside or in place of fresh lemon to add a similarly invigorating, zesty fragrance.
