May Chang Essential Oil (Litsea) | Fresh, Citrusy & Calming

May Chang Essential Oil, also known as Litsea or Tropical Verbena, is extracted from the ripe berries of Litsea cubeba. This small deciduous tree grows throughout the eastern Himalayas, China, and Taiwan and is recognised for its fragrant lance-shaped leaves and delicate white flowers. After flowering, the tree produces small peppercorn-like berries from which this popular essential oil is steam distilled.

May Chang Essential Oil has a fresh, sweet, lemon-like fragrance that is often compared to lemon verbena. Its unique combination of uplifting and calming qualities has made it a favourite ingredient in aromatherapy, natural personal care products, and fragrance formulations.
