To verify skin efficacy of natural essential yuju oil extracted by steam distillation extraction and expression method, natural essential oil diluted with 5% jojoba oil was spread out forearm and cheek area, and total 6 hours were measured with 1 hour interval. As a result, both men and women improved moisturizing when it was compared after washing face before spreading oil. As for whitening effect, there was more reduction in expressing essential oil in forearm and distilled essential oil in cheek against melanin pigment, which showed good whitening effect. Expressing essential oil had better effect in erythema as an effect of inflammation relief. Skin pH was average 5.2~5.8 with slight acid. Elasticity increased slightly.
