Lemon melissa oil

Authentic essential oil, steam distilled
5 ml / 10 ml

Bether's Melissa essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the above-ground parts of Melissa officinalis before the plant blooms. The oil has a fresh, citrusy-green aromatic profile, which is why Melissa is valued both in aromatherapy and as an aromatic component in cosmetic formulations.

This product follows Bether's philosophy – proprietary raw material, in-house distillation, and traceability from field to bottle.
