Product Description
Feel calm yet energized with the vibrant, citrusy aroma of Petitgrain Bigarade Essential Oil. Also known as bitter orange, Petitgrain Bigarade has a fresh scent that brings to mind citrus flowers with an earthy, woody undertone.
Petitgrain Bigarade Oil uses include aromatherapy, skincare, haircare, and DIY household cleaners, making it a highly versatile essential oil to add to your collection. Like all Rocky Mountain Oils, our Petitgrain Bigarade is 100% pure and GC/MS tested by an independent, third-party lab to guarantee quality and safety. (Learn more here.)
When you diffuse Petitgrain Bigarade Essential Oil or add a few drops to personal care products, you’ll feel both lighter and more grounded. Petitgrain Bigarade is recommended for stress, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and for improving focus and concentration.
Used topically in a carrier oil, Petitgrain Bigarade benefits both skin and hair. It’s naturally astringent and anti-inflammatory, which helps brighten the skin, control dandruff, and reduce blemishes like acne, while also helping treat skin irritations, small cuts, and bug bites. Try it in your conditioner, or create a deep-moisture hair mask, for promoting new hair growth that’s thicker, shinier, and less oily.
