Emotional & spiritual benefits
Neroli is a beautiful calming oil. It supports emotions and instils peace, particularly for women. It has a relaxing effect which may help with restlessness and support a good night’s sleep. It also settles high emotional states of stress, dismay or shock. Whilst it reduces feelings of anxiety, it also uplifts the soul, which supports a healthy mindset.

Cosmetic benefits
Neroli is known for its anti-ageing benefits. Promoting new skin cell growth, improving elasticity and softening fine lines and wrinkles. It is used in preparations to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and scars. It is gentle enough for sensitive complexions, but is also recommended for normal, dry and mature skin types.

Formulation types
Most commonly used in luxury skincare products, Neroli is perfect for facial creams, anti-ageing preparations, serums, perfumes, clay masks, feminine and relaxation essential oil blends. Its unique and haunting aroma brings sophistication to a blend and is commonly used in perfumery.
