FEATURES AND BENEFITS
True Tangerine Scent: Tangerine Essential Oil captures the fresh, delicious aroma of ripe tangerines. Balancing sweetness with tanginess, it adds a playful yet elegant citrus character to soaps, candles, and personal care products.
Shake Up Your Citrus Combo: This oil pairs beautifully with sweet orange, pink grapefruit, and lemon to create lush citrus blends. Like mixing the perfect tropical cocktail, the scent invites creativity in every pour.
A Symbol of Good Luck: Tangerine Essential Oil carries the lucky spirit of the tangerine — a symbol of abundance and good fortune in many cultures, including during Chinese New Year, thanks to their sunny, coin-like shape.
Brightens Skin and Hair: Add a radiant citrus note to your skin and hair care blends. As with most citrus oils, it is recommended to avoid direct sunlight after application due to possible phototoxicity.
DESCRIPTION
Imagine the scent of ripe tangerines — freshly peeled, juicy, and tangy — this is the experience of Tangerine Essential Oil. Sourced from tangerine trees originally native to China and now widely grown in the U.S. and Sicily, this oil is steam-distilled from the fruit’s peel. A vibrant addition to soaps, candles, and personal care products, this oil is ideal for makers looking to infuse their creations with a natural, sweet citrus scent.
DIRECTIONS & SUGGESTED USAGE
- Sweet & Juicy Soaps: One of the most popular uses for Tangerine Essential Oil is soapmaking, where it adds a fresh, fruity scent. Add Tangerine Essential Oil at 0.5–2% in your soap blend. Test a small batch to find your ideal fragrance strength. Due to phototoxic properties, these soaps are best used in the evening or on days with low sun exposure.
