Litsea cubeba oil

Litsea cubeba oil (CAS 68855-99-2 ), also listed under FEMA 3846 , is a natural essential oil cold-pressed or steam-distilled from the fruit of the Litsea cubeba plant, native to East and Southeast Asia. It delivers a fresh, intense lemon-citrus character that makes it a sought-after ingredient in both flavor and fragrance applications. In food and beverage manufacturing, it functions as a natural flavoring agent. This oil is commonly used in confectionery, beverages, and baked goods where citrus profiles are required. Fragrance formulators use it as a cost-effective alternative to lemon or lemongrass oil in soaps and detergents. It is also a popular choice for personal care products including shampoos and body washes. Its antimicrobial activity supports use as a preservation component in cosmetic formulations targeting shelf-life extension. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers also incorporate it into topical preparations and oral care products. These applications typically require natural citrus-forward scent profiles for consumer appeal. The oil is supplied as a pale yellow to yellow mobile liquid. It is available in food-grade quality meeting the necessary standards, as well as cosmetic-grade and technical-grade variants for industrial use. Standard packaging ranges from small drums to bulk quantities to suit various production scales. Natural and certified organic grades are also offered by select suppliers to meet specific market demands. Contact us for supply of Litsea cubeba oil Request Quote
