Mandarin Essential Oil Organic

Mandarin Essential Oil

Botanical name: Citrus reticulata

Mandarin essential oil is cold pressed from the peel of Citrus reticulata, a small citrus tree believed to have originated in China before spreading throughout Europe and the Mediterranean. The fruit has been appreciated for centuries not only as a food but also for its beautifully fragrant peel, which produces one of the sweetest aromas among the citrus essential oils.

Mandarin has long been associated with comfort and wellbeing. Traditional aromatherapy has valued its gentle character, making it a popular choice for relaxation blends, evening diffuser recipes, and family aromatherapy when appropriately used.

This particular organic Mandarin Essential Oil is sourced from Greece and extracted by cold pressing the fresh fruit peel, preserving the naturally bright aromatic compounds that give the oil its characteristic sweet citrus fragrance.
