Yuzu Essential Oil

	Yuzu

Yuzu Essential Oil possesses a delightful citrus aroma that resembles a combination of mandarin and grapefruit. Children are very likely to enjoy the aroma.

Yuzu Essential Oil is well known for application within personal fragrancing. However, limited reliable information exists on the use of Yuzu Oil in other specific applications.

The pleasant aroma of Yuzu Oil makes it a good candidate for uplifting diffuser blends intended to help with anxiety, depression and nervousness.

Be selective of who you purchase Yuzu Essential Oil from as some producers have been found to pass a citrus oil blend off as Yuzu Oil.
