Litsea Cubeba Oil, also known as May Chang, is a refreshing citrus-scented essential oil extracted through steam distillation from the small, pepper-like fruits of the Litsea cubeba tree. This cosmetic-grade oil is celebrated for its uplifting aroma and skin-toning properties, making it an ideal ingredient in natural skincare formulations, soaps, and body care products. Its light, lemony fragrance also makes it a favorite in aromatherapy blends.
