Yuzu Essential Oil is a fundamental component of Japanese culture, often used in the country's cuisine in a manner similar to how lemons are utilized in western cuisine. Its flavor is tart and aromatic, featuring prominently in popular dishes such as ponzu sauce and vinegar. Furthermore, Yuzu is employed to craft a plethora of products, including liquor, marmalade, syrup, and hot sauces.

It can also help clear your thoughts and foster a hopeful outlook.

Yuzu essential oil revitalizes and tones skin, providing antioxidant protection to defend from signs of aging. Its antimicrobial benefits are effective against acne/problem skin and bacterial infections. The oil can help ward off colds and other ailments, as well as reduce discomfort from arthritis and rheumatism. It can also benefit the respiratory system, reducing inflammation and improving airway function. Digestive issues can be soothed with yuzu's anti-inflammatory properties and relief of nausea, cramping, and more. Its calming benefits promote a sound sleep.

Yuzu is native to Japan and is one of the few citrus varieties that grows on a cold-hardy evergreen tree. Yuzu is steam distilled from the peels resulting in a unique and potently aromatic citrus essential oil. It takes 10lbs of peel to make each ounce of essential oil. Two constituents have recently been identified as key to this citrus peel’s unique odor profile that contribute significantly to its unique aromatic aspects1: (6Z, 8E)-6,8,10-undecatriene-3-one (yuzunone), also found in Galbanum, and (6Z, 8E)-6,8,10-undecatriene-4-ol (yuzuol). Yuzunone and yuzuol increase the balsamic, sweet, and floral characteristics that distinguish the Yuzu aroma from other citrus fruits.

Yuzu essential oil is beneficial for the muscles and achey joints.
