High quality 100% Bitter Orange Leaf Essential Oil for skin care

Although not quite as popular in aromatherapy as its sweeter relation, nonetheless Bitter Orange essential oil offers a wide range of health benefits to both qualified aromatherapists and home enthusiasts alike.

The essential oil is obtained from the peel of Citrus aurantium fruits which are acid-bitter, and therefore too sour to be eaten as out-of-hand fruit.

However, they are perfect for making an absolutely delicious marmalade that is eaten around the world. Bitter orange essential oil is still used to flavour a wide range of consumables including confectionaries, ice cream, chewing gum, soft drinks and liqueurs.

Until recently it was used extensively by the perfumery industry in perfumes and colognes. Synthetic fragrances are now used mostly in this industry.
