Neroli
Whitening, moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, reduces dark spots
Neroli oil is steam-distilled from the fresh blossoms of the bitter orange tree, Citrus aurantium var. amara. Approximately 1,000 kg of hand-picked blossoms yield just 1 kg of neroli, making it one of the most labor-intensive essential oils in existence. Named after the 17th-century Italian princess Anne-Marie de la Trémoille, Countess of Nerola, who popularized its use as a personal fragrance, neroli is prized for its exquisite floral-citrus aroma with honeyed, green, and slightly spicy facets. Its primary constituents are linalool (25–45%), linalyl acetate (10–20%), limonene (10–20%), and β-pinene (10–15%), with trace nitrogenous compounds (indole, methyl anthranilate) contributing to its unique, slightly indolic-floral warmth.

A classic ingredient in eau de cologne (alongside bergamot, lavender, and rosemary in the traditional 4711 formula) and countless floral, citrus, and chypre compositions. Its remarkable radiance and diffusion allow it to function as both a top note and a heart note, providing the luminous 'lift' characteristic of sophisticated citrus-floral fragrances.
Used in premium facial care for all skin types, particularly mature, sensitive, and devitalized skin. Neroli is gently cytophylactic (cell-regenerating), helping to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scarring. Its mild, non-irritating nature makes it suitable even for delicate and reactive skin. Used at 0.05–0.2% in facial oils and serums.
Neroli is considered perhaps the most effective essential oil for acute anxiety and emotional shock. Its profound calming effect — without sedation — makes it invaluable for panic attacks, pre-exam nerves, and situational anxiety. Often combined with lavender and frankincense in anxiety-relief inhalers and diffusion blends.
Virtually all citrus, floral, woody, and resinous oils — neroli's luminous, uplifting floral-citrus character bridges top and middle notes seamlessly, combining the freshness of citrus with the elegance of white florals

Custom packaging and private labeling available upon request.
Store in tightly sealed, full containers in a cool (<20°C), dark environment. Shelf life: 2–3 years. Linalyl acetate content may slowly decrease upon prolonged storage; cool, dark conditions preserve the ester profile.
Under recommended storage conditions — tightly sealed in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight — Neroli Oil remains stable for 2 to 3 years. Monitor for any changes in aroma, color, or viscosity before use in production batches.
Neroli Oil is steam distillation from the flowers of a plant in the Rutaceae family. This method preserves the full spectrum of volatile aromatic compounds and bioactive constituents that define the oil''s therapeutic and sensory profile.
