Tangerine Oil

Tangerine Oil, extracted from the peel of the Citrus reticulata fruit through cold pressing, is an essential oil celebrated for its sweet, tangy, and citrusy aroma. This delightful oil captures the essence of tangerines, offering an uplifting and refreshing scent that embodies the zest and brightness of the fruit. Known for its mood-brightening character, Tangerine Oil is a popular choice in aromatherapy, skincare formulations, and natural cleaning products.

Sold as tangerine essential oil or tangerine citrus oil, it has a sweet, juicy, orange-like aroma with a slightly softer and rounder edge than sweet orange oil. Tangerines and mandarins are both forms of Citrus reticulata, and because the oil is cold pressed from the peel it keeps the bright, fresh top note of the fruit.

In aromatherapy, Tangerine Oil is renowned for its ability to create a joyful, bright atmosphere. Its cheerful scent is a favourite when diffused.

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

Common Uses: Tangerine Oil is incorporated into skincare products for its bright fragrance. It's also used in natural cleaning formulations for its fresh scent and uplifting aroma.

Blends well with: Bergamot, Cinnamon, Clary Sage, Lavender, and other citrus and floral oils. These combinations enhance Tangerine Oil's sweet and tangy notes, creating aromatic blends.

Aromatic Scent: Tangerine Oil offers a sweet, tangy, and fruity citrus aroma that is both refreshing and comforting, evoking the lively essence of fresh tangerines.

Use it on its own in a diffuser, or in blends, handmade soaps, candles, room sprays and natural cleaning formulations, where its sweet citrus note brightens the base. For external aromatic use only; do not ingest, and dilute in a carrier oil before it touches the skin. Like most cold pressed citrus oils, it is best kept tightly closed, away from heat and light, so the fresh top note lasts.
