Historical Uses
Petitgrain essential oil is native to southern China and northeastern India, and is later cultivated in large quantities in France, Paraguay, Italy and Tunisia. Initially, petitgrain essential oil was called "poor man's orange blossom", but its aromatherapeutic value has gradually become unique. It not only brings peace, but also helps people find new courage when facing stress in life.

It is calmer than sweet orange, lemon, grapefruit, etc., and is suitable for helping sleep and relaxation.
Gentle and non-irritating, suitable for conditioning oily skin and scalp.
It is non-photosensitive and can be used safely during the day or at night.
