FAQs

What makes neroli different from other citrus essential oils in skincare?
+

Neroli is steam-distilled from bitter orange blossom rather than cold-pressed from the fruit peel — which distinguishes it critically from most citrus essential oils used in skincare. Cold-pressed citrus peel oils contain furanocoumarins and are photosensitising. Steam-distilled neroli, being derived from the flower rather than the peel and processed by distillation rather than cold-pressing, has a different compound profile — predominantly linalool, linalyl acetate, and citral, with the photosensitising compounds of peel oils absent or at negligible levels. This makes neroli suitable for use in a face cream in a way that cold-pressed lemon or bergamot peel oils would not be. Its extraordinary fragrance — fresh, floral, slightly honeyed and bittersweet — is also unique among citrus-derived aromatics and is one of the defining characteristics of this cream.

How is this cream different from the Frankincense & Rose version?
+

The Neroli & Aloe cream is lighter in texture and formulated for normal to combination and sensitive skin — the aloe vera base provides moisture without heaviness, and neroli's fresh aromatic character is lighter than the warm, resinous depth of frankincense. The Frankincense & Rose cream is richer, more appropriate for dry and mature skin, and has a more intensively anti-ageing active focus through frankincense's boswellic acid content. Both are naturally formulated Amphora Aromatics face creams — choose based on skin type (lighter for normal or combination, richer for dry or mature) and aromatic preference.

Can I use this alongside a vitamin C serum?
+

Yes — apply the vitamin C serum after cleansing and toning, allow it to absorb, and then apply this cream as the moisturising final step. The vitamin C's brightening action and the neroli's mild complexion-evening properties are complementary — both address radiance and skin tone improvement through different mechanisms, and their combined use in a consistent daily routine produces a more comprehensive brightening result than either alone.

Is this cream suitable for use around the eyes?
+

A face cream containing neroli essential oil should not be applied directly to the mobile eyelid or inner corner of the eye — the citrus-derived aromatic compounds can cause irritation in the immediate periorbital area. Apply this cream to the face and neck, and use a dedicated eye cream formulated specifically for the periorbital area for the under-eye and brow bone application. If the cream migrates naturally to the outer eye area during regular facial application that is generally appropriate; direct application to the eyelid is not.
