Organic Red Mandarin Essential Oil (AB)

Mandarin essential oil is, like that of many citrus fruits, rich in limonene. In olfactotherapy, it is soothing and promotes sleep. Its citrus fragrance is particularly appreciated by children.

Our organic labels: ORGANIC & HEBBD essential oil, from Organic Farming (AB) controlled and certified by ECOCERT France SAS FR-BIO-01.

Rich in limonene, mandarin essential oil is very close in terms of chemotype, precautions for use and properties to sweet orange essential oil. Red mandarin essential oil is particularly appreciated for its safe use for the whole family whatever the method of use. However, it must be diluted in a vegetable oil before applying to the skin. The color of the mandarin (green, yellow, orange or red) corresponds to the different stages of maturation of the fruit: first green, the mandarin will then be yellow and finally orange or red. However, we are talking here about the same fruit, coming from one and the same tree: Citrus reticulata blanco var mandarine.
