Neroli for skin: your questions, answered

Neroli is an essential oil distilled from the white blossoms of the bitter orange tree, Citrus aurantium amara. It takes a large quantity of blossoms to make a small amount of oil, which is why it is considered precious.

Neroli gives skincare a calming, toning feel and a fresh, softly floral scent that makes your routine more pleasant.

Many essential oils are used with caution during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor before using products with essential oils.
