Mandarin Oil

Mandarin Oil, expressed from the peel of the Citrus reticulata fruit, is a delightful essential oil known for its sweet, floral, and citrusy aroma. This oil, obtained through cold pressing, captures the essence of mandarin oranges, offering a burst of sunshine in every drop. Widely appreciated for its gentle, uplifting fragrance, Mandarin Oil is a favorite in aromatherapy, natural skincare, and perfumery.

In aromatherapy, Mandarin Oil is cherished for its gentle, cheerful character. Its cheerful, fruity scent is known to create a positive, welcoming atmosphere in any space, making it especially popular for diffusing around children and adults alike.

The aroma is sweeter, softer and more floral than orange or lemon oil, with a gentle tangy edge. It is often used as a top note in perfumery and in room sprays and body-care blends for a light citrus character. It is also sold as mandarin essential oil or Citrus reticulata peel oil. For external aromatic use only, never taken by mouth, and always dilute before skin use. Technique tip: keep the bottle tightly closed and away from heat and light, because cold pressed citrus oils lose their freshness faster than most other essential oils.

The chemical composition of Mandarin Oil, rich in limonene, gamma-terpinene, and myrcene, gives it its distinctive sweet citrus character.
