Mandarin Essential Oil is cold expressed from the peel of Citrus Reticulata. The oil is golden yellow-orange with the bright, fresh aroma of a ripe orange. The mandarin family includes a wide range of citrus varieties including Satsuma, Clementine, Dancy, Honey, Pixie, and tangerine.
This is one of the gentler citrus oils and is a popular choice in aromatherapy for its uplifting and calming qualities. It is traditionally associated with supporting a positive mood and promoting a sense of calm when used in a diffuser or oil burner. It is also widely used in natural skincare formulations and massage blends.
The Mandarin orange gets its name from the tradition of offering them as gifts to the Mandarins of China. In France, Mandarin has long been used in traditional wellness practices to support digestive comfort. Native to Southern China and the Far East, the Mandarin orange was introduced to Europe in 1805 and to America in 1845.
