Description
Tangerine essential oil is cold pressed from the peel of Citrus tangerina, grown in Italy. It has a fresh, sweet, zesty citrus aroma that is bright and juicy, and is a light, uplifting top note. It is closely related to mandarin but listed as its own species.
Its cheerful scent is popular for creating an uplifting, energising atmosphere and is traditionally associated in aromatherapy with easing everyday stress. It is a natural partner for warm spices and soft florals such as cinnamon, clove, neroli and lavender, especially in festive blends. As a cold-pressed citrus oil it should be treated as phototoxic, so avoid sun or UV exposure on treated skin for 12 hours.
- Fresh, sweet, zesty and juicy citrus aroma
- Bright top note that lifts and freshens a blend
- Traditionally associated with a cheerful mood and easing everyday stress
- Lovely with spices such as cinnamon, clove and nutmeg
Blends well with: Bergamot, cinnamon, clary sage, clove, frankincense, lavender, neroli and nutmeg
