Petitgrain essential oil is derived from the leaves, flowers, and young twigs of the bitter orange tree. At LINNÉ, we source our petitgrain from Egypt, where the plant grows in conditions that support a beautifully balanced aromatic and therapeutic profile. In our REPAIR and BALANCE face oils, petitgrain contributes a thoughtful blend of botanical actives that support clarity, balance, and overall skin health.

Known for its antibacterial, antifungal, and calming properties, petitgrain helps tone the skin, ease visible irritation, and support those prone to oiliness or congestion. Its gentle cicatrisant nature also encourages the skin’s natural recovery process, helping soothe the look of minor abrasions and redness.

Beyond its topical benefits, petitgrain essential oil is appreciated for its aromatic qualities. It contains linalyl acetate, a naturally occurring compound noted for its relaxing effects. In aromatherapy traditions, petitgrain is used to promote a sense of ease, help settle stress, and support a balanced nervous system. Its soft, herbaceous citrus aroma brings a grounding, restorative element to daily rituals.

Petitgrain’s ability to clarify, soothe, and center makes it a valuable component in formulas designed to nurture both the skin and the senses.
