Wildcrafted Verbena Javanica Essential Oil | Lippia Javanica

Overview Specifications Aromatic profile Chemistry Applications Safety

Verbena Javanica Essential Oil is a distinctive aromatic oil steam-distilled from the leaves and aerial portions of Lippia javanica, an aromatic shrub native to regions of southern and tropical Africa.

Highly valued for its fresh, herbaceous and naturally citrus-like aroma, Lippia javanica produces an essential oil with a complex aromatic character that can range from bright lemony-green and slightly floral to warm, woody, camphoraceous or spicy depending on geographic origin, harvest conditions and natural chemotype.

Its unusual aromatic complexity makes it particularly attractive for natural perfumery, masculine fragrances, botanical body care, aromatic soaps, cleansing products, massage blends and sophisticated wellness formulations.

Unlike traditional Lemon Verbena (Aloysia citrodora), Lippia javanica has its own distinctive botanical and chemical profile and should be treated as a separate aromatic material.
