Escentia Lippia Javanica (Zinziba) Pure Essential Oil is a single-ingredient essential oil from Lippia javanica , a South African botanical also known as Fever Tea, Lemon Bush, Cape Verbena, African Lemon Verbena, and Koorsbossie. It is used in aromatherapy, body oil blends, and home fragrancing where a fresh, herbaceous lemon-like note is wanted. This is a pure essential oil, not a ready-to-use body oil or room spray. It may become sticky or partially solidify over time, which is a normal characteristic of this oil.

♡ Why we love it: This is a wonderfully distinctive local essential oil with a character that feels both fresh and grounded. It is especially appealing for makers who enjoy working with South African botanicals and want something a little different from the more familiar citrus or eucalyptus oils.
