Mandarin: Brighten and nourish with a citrusy glow!
Mandarin is a plant native to Southeast Asia. It has a sweet, fruity, citrusy aroma and is used in aromatherapy for its uplifting, stimulating qualities.
Mandarin essential oil comes from the rind of the mandarin orange tree. The oil can be extracted by pressing out the peels. It has a strong scent similar to the orange essential oil in smell and function but with a little more of an edge.
The essential oil mainly comprises limonene, linalool, beta-caryophyllene, geraniol, and citral terpenes, which is why it's commonly used in natural cosmetics. It's nourishing and helps promote circulation. It can also help reduce redness and inflammation in the skin, so it's excellent for soothing skin conditions such as acne or eczema.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the aroma of mandarin oil can help relieve anxiety and depression and improve digestion. It can also be used to promote mental health because it contains compounds that promote relaxation and calmness. It's also known to boost moods and relieve stress!
We incorporate Mandarin in our Lavender Cami blend for that sweet and soft calming scent.
It's important to note that individual experiences may vary, and it's recommended to check the ingredient list and perform a patch test before using mandarin-infused body lotion, especially if you have sensitive skin or any known allergies.
