Greek for “honeybee,” Melissa officinalis—also known as lemon balm—received its name because its sweet, citrus-like fragrance was known to attract bees. This precious essential oil has a soothing and refreshing effect on the skin and offers a wide range of benefits and uses outside of skincare.
Melissa essential oil can be used to flavour teas, seafood dishes, and even homemade ice cream. It’s soft, herbal aroma creates a relaxing space and can cultivate a restful environment when diffused at nighttime. When added to your daily facial cleanser or moisturizer, Melissa essential oil can comfort skin and promote a refreshed, revitalized complexion.
