Orange oil, or orange essential oil, is a citrus oil that’s extracted from the fruit of sweet orange trees. These trees, which are native to China, are easy to spot due to the combination of dark green leaves, white flowers and, of course, bright orange fruit.
Sweet orange essential oil is extracted from the oranges and rind that grow on the Citrus Sinensis species of orange tree. But there are several other types of orange oil available too. They include bitter orange essential oil, which comes from the rind of the fruit of Citrus Aurantium trees.
Other types of orange essential oil include neroli oil (from the flowers of Citrus Aurantium), petitgrain oil (from the leaves of Citrus Aurantium), mandarin oil (from Citrus Reticulata Blanco), and bergamot oil (from Citrus Bergamia Risso and Piot).
Summary: Orange essential oil is just that, oil from oranges. There are several different orange oils, depending on the type of orange tree they’ve been sourced from, as well as the part of the tree. Sweet orange oil, bitter orange essential oil and mandarin oil are just a few of the different types of orange oil that exist.
