Lemon Verbena Essential Oil is a vivacious citrus-fresh delight, brimming with uplifting energy and sunny vibrancy. Steam-distilled from the leaves of organic Moroccan Aloysia citrodora, this rare oil awakens the senses, clears the mind, and brightens skin with its tonifying and clarifying properties.
Its delicate, citrus aroma, with subtle hints of Neroli and Geranium, evokes a sunny afternoon walk among blooming fruit trees. Lemon Verbena is botanically distinct from Lemon Balm and prized for its rarity, as essential oil yields are low and often adulterated in commercial products.
