Petigrain

Petitgrain Citrus aurantium v. amara , C. bigaradia (Family, Rutaceae)

This oil with a lovely fresh, flowery scent is revitalizing yet relaxing. It has a toning effect on the skin. from the same trees as Neroli/orange blossom though Petitgrain is distilled from the leaves rather than the petals. Similar properties to Neroli, it has deodorant properties and helps to relieve anxiety and stress. Lovely aroma. Good in final rinse for healthy hair, (two drops).
