The Green Note of Clarity: Bitter Orange Leaf in Modern Skincare

Citrus Aurantium Amara Leaf Oil, also known as Petitgrain, is an essential oil distilled from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree. It offers a complex, slightly green aroma and an impressive portfolio of skin benefits, especially for oily or imbalanced skin.

This oil is rich in linalyl acetate and linalool, compounds that lend both antimicrobial and calming properties. It helps reduce breakouts, soothe irritation, and refine texture—all while supporting a balanced, non-greasy finish.

Bitter Orange Leaf Oil is also a favorite in aromatherapy for its calming yet clarifying scent, making it an ideal choice in nighttime skincare rituals or products designed for mental and emotional relaxation.

Whether used in toners, creams, or oil blends, Citrus Aurantium Amara brings balance, clarity, and elegance to any clean beauty formulation.
