Mandarin Essential Oil for Skin & Hair Care Cosmetics

This is a popular essential oil used in aromatherapy and natural wellness, derived from the peel of the Mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata).

• Source: Cold-pressed from the rind of the fruit.
• Aroma: Sweet, citrusy, fresh, and slightly floral—lighter and sweeter than sweet orange oil.
• Key Uses:
  • Aromatherapy: Highly valued for its calming, uplifting, and soothing properties. It’s often used to alleviate anxiety, stress, and promote restful sleep. It’s considered gentle and safe for children when diluted.
  • Skincare: Used in diluted form for its antiseptic and mild astringent properties. It’s believed to help with acne, oily skin, and toning.
  • Digestive Aid: In massage blends, it’s traditionally used to soothe digestive discomfort like bloating or cramps.
• Note: It’s photosensitive, meaning applying it to the skin before sun exposure can increase the risk of sunburn.
