Umuthi Lemon Verbena Pure Essential Oil is a steam-distilled essential oil from the leaves and flowering tops of Aloysia triphylla . It has a bright lemon-herbal character that works beautifully in soaps, hand and body lotions, salt scrubs, bath salts, candles, diffuser blends, and natural perfumery. This oil brings a more refined, botanical citrus note than a straightforward lemon profile, making it useful where freshness and elegance are both wanted. It is especially well suited to bath, body, and aromatic products with a calm, clean scent direction.
♡ Why we love it: Lemon Verbena has a beautifully polished citrus-herbal aroma that feels fresh without being ordinary. It is a lovely choice for body care and bath products where a clean, uplifting scent is part of the final product experience.
