Citrus Aurantium Amara
Neroli essential oil and hydrosol are produced by the steam distillation of the delicate blossoms of the orange tree which appear in April and May.
Neroli has a beautiful and seductive botanical fragrance, emotionally it is calming and grounding and is believed to help heal the heart.
Neroli is revered for its potential to regenerate the skin, particularly with regard to scar tissue. This is likely due to its cytophylactic actions in the regeneration of new cells, while also invigorating current skin cells. It hydrates and tones the skin and can reduce fine lines caused by dehydration, the mild astringent properties help improve skin elasticity and restore the appearance of mature or environmentally-damaged skin, making neroli a graceful ageing superhero that protects and preserves skin’s youthfulness, while ensuring its longevity.
Its regenerating abilities provide benefits for every skin type, even the most sensitive, but its antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties make it a star for oily and blemished skin. While helping maintain moisture levels and balance oil production, it also has the ability to prevent infection and reduce irritation in skin damaged by acne or trauma. It works by inhibiting the growth of pathogens. Since most pathogens excrete metabolic wastes, neroli can help protect the skin from further harm caused by toxicity.
Neroli Hydrosol has a deep skin cleansing action that drives out stale sebum, dirt, and pollution from deep within the pores. It contains natural alpha-hydroxy acids that help to gently exfoliate skin and remove impurities.
