Medikomed Essential Oil Litsea cubeba (Verbena) is a 100% natural, single-ingredient cosmetic-grade essential oil derived from the fruit of Litsea cubeba (May Chang) — a small tropical tree of the Lauraceae family native to East and Southeast Asia. Despite the trade name "Verbena" used in some Eastern European markets, this oil is the pure essential oil of Litsea cubeba, which has a characteristically fresh, citrus-lemon aroma, distinctly different from true Verbena (Lippia citriodora). Litsea cubeba essential oil is rich in citral (geranial and neral), limonene and linalool, giving it its bright, uplifting and stimulating lemon-citrus scent. In cosmetics, it is used as a natural fragrance ingredient in creams, masks, shampoos, soaps and shower gels; in aromatherapy, it is diffused or used in bath preparations and massage blends as an aromatic component. The oil is concentrated and should always be diluted before skin contact.
10 ml bottle.

What This Oil Is
Medikomed Litsea cubeba Essential Oil (Verbena) is a cosmetic-grade essential oil made from the fruit of Litsea cubeba, also known as May Chang. Its bright lemon-citrus scent is fresher and lighter than many resinous or floral oils, yet more vivid than plain citrus peel aromas. It works well in a diffuser, in bath blends and in diluted body oils when you want the room or the product to feel cleaner, lighter and more energising.
An important detail: the trade name "Verbena" can be misleading. This oil is not true verbena leaf oil, but pure Litsea cubeba fruit oil. Litsea cubeba has a long history of use in East and Southeast Asia as a fragrant botanical, and in modern aromatherapy it is valued for its fresh, cheerful aroma and good blending potential.
Key Aromatic Compounds
The character of this essential oil comes mainly from naturally occurring aromatic compounds:
- Citral — gives the oil its sharp, distinctive lemon note.
- Limonene — adds a sparkling citrus edge.
- Linalool — softens the composition with a slightly floral nuance.
These molecules evaporate easily, which is why the fragrance is noticed quickly and spreads well in the air. This is also why Litsea cubeba is often used to fragrance creams, shampoos, soaps and massage blends: just a small amount can noticeably change the scent profile.
How to Use It
This 10 ml oil suits people who enjoy home fragrance, DIY cosmetic blends or aromatic bath and massage products and prefer a single-ingredient oil rather than a perfume mixture. Because it is highly concentrated, it works best as an accent ingredient:
- A drop or two in a diffuser to freshen a room.
- A few drops diluted into a carrier oil for body or massage use.
- A small amount blended into a finished cosmetic product such as a cream, shampoo or soap.
Cautions
- Always dilute before skin contact — do not apply undiluted.
- Perform a patch test before wider use, especially on sensitive skin; citral and limonene can cause irritation in some people.
- Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
- If you are pregnant or selecting essential oils for children, consult a qualified professional first.

Customer Questions
Despite the common trade name "Verbena," this product is not made from true verbena leaves. It is a pure essential oil extracted from the fruit of Litsea cubeba, also known as May Chang. This distinction is important for understanding its aromatic character.
Because this essential oil is highly concentrated, it must be used with care to ensure safety and effectiveness. It is suitable for home fragrance, DIY cosmetic blends, and aromatic bath or massage products, but never for direct, undiluted application on the skin.
