Petitgrain Essential Oil

Petitgrain essential oil belongs to the citrus group but is not as well known as other citrus oils like lemon, bergamot, or orange. Like these others, petitgrain has a refreshing and cleansing effect. It brightens the spirits and helps cleanse skin and hair when used topically in a dilution or blend. It blends well with the other citrus oils, and also with florals like lavender, geranium and jasmine.
