Essential Oil Doterra Petitgrain – Aceite Esencial Doterra de Petitgrain

Petitgrain (French granite) essential oil is extracted from the sour orange tree, which has a long history of use in traditional health practices.

There are 3 essential oils that are extracted from the sour orange tree. Petitgrain oil is extracted from the tree's leaves and twigs, neroli essential oil is distilled from the buds, and sour orange oil is produced by cold squeezing the rinds of the fruit.

Petitgrain oil is widely used in the perfume industry, giving body sprays, fragrances, creams, and colognes a fresh, herbaceous touch that is popular with men and women.

By sourcing petitgrain oil in Paraguay through the Co-Impact Sourcing initiative, doTERRA can support needed development projects in rural communities and provide diversified income to small farmers.

This methodology provides an economically viable alternative to deforestation, helping dramatically to protect the remaining areas of the Atlantic rainforest in eastern Paraguay.
