Litsea cubeba oil
Product name:Litsea cubeba oil(FALIT)
Character
Litsea cubeba oil is taken from Litsea Cubeba, which is a small plant found in tropical areas. Its leaves are typically vibrant green with a pleasant, lemon like smell.
Litsea cubeba oil information
Litsea cubeba oil is distilled from the small, pepperlike fruits of the tree of Litsea cubeba.
Oil of Chinese origin, the only source of internationally traded material, is rich in citral (about 70 percent) and has an intensely lemon-like, fresh, sweet odour. It competes to a limited extent with lemongrass, another citral-rich oil, in fragrance applications such as household sprays and fresheners although it is less suitable for use in soaps than lemongrass oil since it has less fixative power.
Application
The oil has good therapeutic properties and can also be used as astringent, insecticide, antiseptic, hypotensive, stimulant & tonic.
