Botany: Litsea cubeba
May chang (Litsea cubeba) is an East Asian member of the laurel family, bearing small berry-like fruits with a lemon-peel aroma. Its essential oil is typically high in citral (geranial and neral), giving a vivid, lemony, refreshing aroma profile. Although chemically reminiscent of citruses, it is botanically not a citrus, and the oil is produced by steam distillation, not by cold pressing.
Origin and production
The oil is sourced from China, from traditional may chang-growing regions. It is produced by steam distillation from the ripe, dried fruits. This method carries the volatile aromatic compounds with water vapour, keeping thermal load limited and preserving the characteristic lemony aroma profile.
Applications
- Private-label cosmetics: scenting fresh-style shower gels, deodorants and body oils
- Aromatherapy: uplifting diffuser blends for morning routines
- Soap and candle making: cold-process soap, soy wax candles
- Perfumery: top note in lemony-fresh compositions
- Home fragrance: natural sprays and diffuser blends
Storage and shelf life
Store the essential oil in a cool, dark place, preferably below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle. Protected from light and heat, Litsea cubeba oil typically keeps for 2 years, as citral-rich oils are more sensitive to light and oxidative changes. Unopened bottles retain quality longer; once opened, it is advisable to use the content within 12 months.
