The Latin name is \u003cem\u003eCitrus Aurantium Amara\u003c\/em\u003e, and the oil is extracted from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree. The color is light yellow to pale green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name \"petitgrain\" comes from the French for \"small grains\", referring to the small, unripe fruits from which fragrance was originally extracted. Nowadays, the oil is mainly made from the leaves and twigs, because this gives a higher yield and the harvest is not at the expense of fruit production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePetitgrain blends beautifully with other floral oils such as lavender, neroli, rose geranium and ylang ylang, with citrus oils such as bergamot and mandarin, and with woody oils such as sandalwood and cedarwood. It is a popular top note in perfumery and in calming evening blends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is Petitgrain Essential Oil made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePetitgrain is extracted by steam distillation of the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree. The leaves are harvested, cut and exposed to steam, which releases the volatile aromatic components. This steam is then condensed and the essential oil separates from the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause petitgrain comes from the leaves and not from the skin of the fruit, the oil does not contain furocoumarins. As a result, petitgrain is not phototoxic and can be used for sunlight without restriction. This is an important difference from other oils from the citrus family such as bergamot and lemon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits of Petitgrain Essential Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-phototoxic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike most citrus oils from the peel, petitgrain can be used in day care without any problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrings peace and tranquility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe scent of petitgrain soothes immediately and is an excellent choice for an evening diffuser or night cream.

Essential oils naturally contain allergens such as limonene, linalool, and geraniol. When you combine multiple essential oils in one recipe, these allergens accumulate and you can quickly exceed the legal allergen limits. A working dose of 1 percent gives you the space to use multiple oils in one recipe without going over those limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor products that you rinse off, such as soap, shower gel or shampoo, longer maximums apply because the oil does not remain on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot recommended for use during pregnancy without consultation with an expert. Keep out of reach of children. When in doubt or with sensitive skin, always test on a small area first and wait 24 hours before using it on larger areas.
