What is Neroli?
Neroli is the blossom from a particular type of orange tree. It must be handled very delicately to not destroy the precious essential oil in each flower. They are often hand picked by delicate hands.
This delicacy of essential oils has been long regarded for its history in aromatherapy. A linalool rich oil that has been used to combat symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, tension, fear, panic, and so much more. Natalie makes her personal anxiety blend with Neroli, watch her video here.
Topically, Neroli is used in many high-end skin care products to nourish all skin types, especially mature. It has also been reputed to lessen the appearance of stretchmarks and some scarring.
As you can imagine, this heavenly scent is also very often used as a perfume.
