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.
