May Chang essential oil is a comparatively new essential oil to the West. Steam-distilled from the pepper-shaped fruits (Cubeba) of this tropical tree, this pure essential oil contains 75% citral as its main constituent. The strong lemon odour dominates, creating an aroma that resembles Lemongrass but with a rounder and more fruity profile. Like Lemongrass, May Chang oil is valued for citral isolation in lemon flavours and perfumery material production, as well as Vitamin A synthesis. While Litsea Citrata is often given as a synonym for May Chang, Litsea Citrata is a related species with lower citral content.
This wonderful citrus aroma uplifts, cleanses and tones. May Chang essential oil serves as an excellent room deodoriser and natural insect repellent - use 5 or 6 drops in a traditional candle burner, Aroma-Stone or Aroma-Stream.
For oily or problem skin care, add a few drops of May Chang oil to skin cleansing products to boost astringent and anti-bacterial properties (not suitable for sensitive skin).
