Interesting Fact: Neroli Oil

EU regulations specify that certain fragrance oils commonly found in natural essential oils must be labelled separately on ingredient lists on cosmetic product labels. The EU governing bodies specify this because they are recognised as potential allergens which can irritate sensitive skin. Linalool, limonene, farnesol, geraniol and citral are all potential allergens found in neroli oil.

The scent of Neroli Essential Oil is often described as ‘honeyed’ with delicate undertones of citrus.
