Our 100% pure Litsea Cubeba (also known as May Chang) Essential Oil (SKU 709) is steam-distilled from fresh Litsea cubeba fruit with zero additives, fillers or synthetic fragrances. It delivers a well-balanced aromatic profile: mild natural sweetness paired with vibrant, zesty fresh lemon citrus notes, layered with faint green herbal hints that set it apart from regular lemon oil.
