ORANGE OIL

Origin

Orange Oil is extracted from the peel of sweet oranges (Citrus sinensis), a fruit native to tropical and subtropical regions such as Brazil, the Mediterranean Basin, and the United States (notably Florida and California). The oil is obtained primarily through cold pressing of the fresh fruit peel, yielding a bright, aromatic essential oil rich in naturally occurring terpenes and aldehydes. This extraction process maintains its fresh citrus aroma and active compounds.

Summary

Orange Oil is a vibrant, uplifting essential oil prized for its refreshing scent, skin-conditioning benefits, and natural cleansing properties. Rich in limonene, a bioactive compound known for antioxidant and purifying effects, it enhances both the performance and sensory experience of formulations. Its cheerful, sweet aroma makes it a favorite in personal care, aromatherapy, and natural fragrance products, while its mild antiseptic and toning properties benefit skin and scalp care applications.
