100% natural product guarantee

Tangerine oil is an essential oil extracted from the peel of tangerine fruits (Citrus reticulata), which are small, sweet citrus fruits similar to mandarins. Tangerine trees are native to China, but they are now cultivated in various warm regions around the world.

The oil is typically obtained through cold pressing or steam distillation of the outer peel of tangerines. It has a sweet, citrusy aroma that is similar to oranges but with a slightly sweeter and tangier scent.

Tangerine oil shares many properties with other citrus essential oils, such as its uplifting and refreshing scent, as well as its versatile uses. Here are some common uses and benefits of tangerine oil:

Aromatherapy: Tangerine oil is valued for its mood-boosting and energizing properties. Diffusing tangerine oil in a room can help uplift the mood, promote relaxation, and reduce feelings of stress and tension.

Skincare: Tangerine oil is often used in skincare products for its astringent and toning effects on the skin. It can help balance oily skin, reduce the appearance of blemishes and acne, and promote a clear, glowing complexion when diluted properly and used in moderation.

Digestive health: Tangerine oil is believed to have digestive benefits and can help alleviate symptoms of indigestion, bloating, and stomach upset. It can be diluted and massaged onto the abdomen or added to a warm bath to promote relaxation and support digestive health.

Cleaning: Tangerine oil possesses natural antimicrobial properties, making it a useful ingredient in homemade cleaning products. It can be added to surface cleaners, air fresheners, and laundry detergents to help disinfect and deodorize while leaving behind a fresh citrus scent.

Culinary uses: Tangerine oil is used as a flavoring agent in food and beverages, adding a sweet, citrusy flavor to recipes such as marinades, salad dressings, desserts, and cocktails.
