5 benefits of neroli for skin care

Who would have thought that this glamorous and mysterious ingredient is actually derived from the humble orange? Neroli is the prettier name given to the bitter orange flower, a close relative of the common navel orange. As the name implies, unlike navel oranges, bitter oranges are just that – bitter. In fact, they are commonly called “marmalade oranges” as they are historically used to make this tart British spread. Much like rose oil, neroli oil is distilled from the bitter orange flower via hydrodistillation (a.k.a. steam distillation) where the flowers are carefully steamed to release the fragrant oil. It was named after Anna Marie Orsini, the 17th century Princess of Nerola, Italy, who used it in her bath as a perfume and to scent her gloves. The name “neroli” came about after crusaders first brought the brightly-colored bitter orange from Asia to Europe. It was named after Anna Marie Orsini, the 17th century Princess of Nerola, Italy, who used it in her bath as a perfume and to scent her gloves. Anna popularized the use of neroli in beauty, but prior to her, neroli oil was a highly traded commodity used in ancient Egypt, traditional Chinese medicine and even to help fight the plague. The scent is often cited for its use in aromatherapy as it can reduce the levels of cortisol in the brain .

The oil from the aromatic blossoms of the bitter orange tree is particularly popular in aromatherapy. In our skin care, we kill two birds with one stone, so to speak: The great scent of neroli has a mood-lifting effect, reduces stress and can even relieve pain. At the same time we use the care effect of the valuable oil for skin health.
