Sweet Orange (Organic)
Everyone’s favourite scent! Sweet Orange Essential Oil smells citrusy and sweet. Its aroma is similar to that of orange peels, but it typically smells sweeter and is more concentrated.
Eating oranges provides a myriad of health benefits for your body. But using orange oil for skin can prove to be equally beneficial.
Orange oil is an essential oil i.e it has a high concentration of volatile compounds. It is extracted via steam distillation of orange peel and has a pleasant, citrusy aroma. There are different varieties of orange oils used in skincare but the most commonly used varieties are sweet orange oil (Citrus Sinensis) and blood orange(Citrus Aurantium Dulcis) oil.
Both variants of orange oil are rich in antioxidants that can protect your skin from harmful free radical damage. Inhaling orange EO can help reduce symptoms of anxiety and improve mood. The high limonene content of oil helps scavenge free radicals that could harm healthy cells. It can also inhibit the growth of several bacteria and fungi. When used on the skin, orange oil helps promote clarity, fights inflammation and acne, and keeps our skin fresh.
