The Skin-Care Benefits of Litsea Cubeba: Nature’s Brightening, Balancing Powerhouse
What Is Litsea Cubeba?
Litsea cubeba is a small evergreen tree that produces pepper-like fruits used to steam-distill a bright, lemony essential oil. This oil is rich in citral, a compound well-known for its antimicrobial, toning, and mood-lifting qualities. Because of its fresh, sparkling scent, it’s often compared to lemongrass—but gentler and slightly sweeter.
