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.

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.
The character of this essential oil comes mainly from naturally occurring aromatic compounds:
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.
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:
