Yuzu (Citrus junos) essential oil – organic

Yuzu essential oil is a unique citrus that combines freshness and energy with a sense of calm and inner lightness . It supports immunity, cleanses, and strengthens the body, while simultaneously uplifting the mood without overstimulating. Its rounded, elegant aroma —less sweet than orange and milder than lemon—makes it a citrus with a rare emotional depth, ideal for winter rituals, inhalations, and regenerative baths.

Yuzu (Citrus junos) Organic Essential Oil

Certified organic yuzu oil from Japan – limonene and γ-terpinene >85%

Certified Organic Yuzu (Citrus junos) Essential Oil is a fruit native to Japan, traditionally used in cleansing and strengthening baths during the New Year. This unique citrus fruit provides a sparkling, fresh, and fruity essential oil that supports immunity and helps restore natural vitality.

Depending on the blend, yuzu oil can be calming or energizing, but it always brings a sense of optimism and inner lightness. Our organic yuzu essential oil is extracted by steam distillation from the fresh skins of ripe yuzu fruits, ripening in sunny Japanese orchards. Its richness in limonene and γ-terpinene (over 85%) gives it cleansing, immunostimulating, and antioxidant properties—making it perfect for winter rituals, inhalations, or immune-boosting baths.

In my opinion, it's one of the most exceptional citrus oils – emotionally profound, yet light and radiant. It has something that neither orange nor tangerine possess – a subtle hint of sunny coolness, somewhere between freshness and calm. It's not as sweet as an orange or as tart as a lemon – it has a more "rounded," elegant aroma, which in perfumery is perceived as a luxurious citrus.
