White Champaca

What is White Champaca?

White Champaca essential oil is extracted from the flowers of Michelia alba, renowned for its rich, exotic fragrance often used in high-end perfumes. This oil, with its intense floral aroma, is valued for its uplifting, relaxing qualities in aromatherapy, promoting a sense of well-being and calm.

Why do I have an intolerance?

Intolerance to White Champaca may result from its high concentration of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes, compounds that can be irritating for sensitive skin types or those prone to allergic reactions. The intense fragrance can also sometimes cause headaches or nausea in sensitive individuals, especially with prolonged exposure.

What can I do about it?

To mitigate reactions, try blending White Champaca oil with a mild carrier oil to dilute its potency, or consider using it sparingly in a well-ventilated space. If sensitivity persists, consider substituting with softer floral oils, like jasmine or neroli, which offer a similar floral essence without the same high concentration of potential irritants.
