Melissa officinalis L. — Lemon Balm Oil
True melissa essential oil is one of the most sought-after and costly aromatics in the world, requiring several tonnes of fresh herb to produce a single kilogram of oil. Bioform's melissa oil is steam distilled from Melissa officinalis cultivated on our own certified organic plantations in the Rose Valley, ensuring full traceability and an authentic chemical profile free from adulteration — a critical consideration in a market where genuine melissa oil is exceptionally rare.
The oil has a bright, fresh lemon character with sweet herbaceous depth — highly valued in aromatherapy, niche perfumery and pharmaceutical applications. Its complex composition of citral, citronellal and geraniol contributes to a nuanced aromatic profile that cannot be replicated by blending less expensive lemon-scented oils, making authentic melissa essential oil an indispensable ingredient for discerning formulators.
