Orange Essential Oil (5 Fold)


Average Product Rating: 5 / 5 (Based on 36 Customer Reviews)



Botanical Name: Citrus sinensis

Plant Part: Fruit Peel

Extraction Method: Cold Pressed

Origin: USA

Description: Orange is derived from an evergreen tree. It is smaller than the bitter orange tree, and less hardy with fewer or no spines. The fruit itself has a sweet pulp with no bitter membrane. Orange Five Fold Oil is more concentrated than the regular citrus essential oils. Through extended distillation, terpenes are removed from the oil rendering more suitable for cosmetic applications.

Color: Dark orange to golden brown liquid

Common Uses: Properties for Orange Five Fold Essential Oil are as follows: antidepressant, antiseptic, antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, carminative, cordial, deodorant, digestive, stimulant (nervous) and tonic (cardiac, circulatory). It has also been applied to combat colds, constipation, dull skin, flatulence, the flu, gums, slow digestion, and stress. The increased concentration of the essential oil fragrance makes the oil perfect for soap & candle making.

Consistency: Thin

Note: Middle

Strength of Aroma: Medium

Blends well with: Lavender, Bergamot, Lemon, Clary Sage, Myrrh, Sandalwood, Nutmeg, Cinnamon Bark and Clove Bud.

Aromatic Scent: Orange Five Fold Essential Oil has a sweet, citrus smell much like the orange peels it is derived from, only more intense and concentrated.

History: There is some argument, but it is believed that sweet orange was brought to Europe by the Arabs in the First century along with the bitter orange.

Cautions: Some aromatherapists have reported that a small percentage of few people have experienced dermatitis from the limonene content of sweet orange. Orange Essential Oil is considered photo-toxic and exposure to sunlight should be avoided. Do not use if pregnant.

I agree with the reviewer who said you just want to keep opening the bottle. It has an awesomely refreshing aroma of sweet oranges. You'd swear someone was peeling an orange just under your nose. Another quality product at a great price!

I really love this Orange scent and it is long lasting. The scent makes you want to drink it right out of the bottle! Great for cleaning products, also great in room sprays. Smells good on incense sticks and cones, keeps the bugs away as well.

I put this in patchouli orange soap 9 months ago. I got a bar off the shelf this morning and the orange came through beautifully. The shower lifted me up and was delightful. No Litsea to anchor it, only the patch. Perfection.

This can't be beat! The price is outrageously inexpensive for such a quality product. I ordered the 16 ounce size to make air freshener. I just add a little alcohol, some 5 fold orange, and some water to make awesome, natural, and cheap air freshener. Thanks NDA!

All my customers absolutely loves my soap when I use the orange (5 fold) in my soap recipes. The scent lasts from the beginning to the very end of the soap. In fact, it's one of my most popular scented soaps. I order this every time. I highly recommend it!

This Orange 5 Fold essential oil reminds me of a breezy summer day; it makes you want to keep on opening up the bottle. It smells like I have just started to take the peel off and eat and orange, it is mouth-watering and not too strong like I was originally thinking. Thank you for carrying this product!

Wow! I fully intend to give this oil an amazing review. I just can't stop smelling it long enough to write a decent review. I pop my nose in, think about the right words and pop my nose back in. It's the most intensely sunshiny scent. More than the orange oil I have to use in baked goods in intensity. I just want to smell this over and over again. Thank you,

I stopped making citrus CP soap a few years ago because, after time, the scent would wane. I just received my shipment yesterday, and the first bottle I opened was the 5-Fold Sweet Orange. OMG!!! I cannot stop smelling this, it smells so good. It has an intense natural orangey scent along with a very orangey color. It reminds me of orange skittles. Awesome. I am going to use this in a batch today, along with pumice and a shot of d-Limonene to make Gardener's and Mechanic's Soaps. It will impart a wonderful orange tint to the soap. According to my research, it lasts longer than regular citrus EOs, so I will see. I am impressed with all of the other EOs I ordered also. Wow, you go, NDA!

Upon a trip to NDA's headquarters in Toronto, I visited their showroom and was delighted by rows and rows of FOs, EOs, colorants, additives and other products to try out and see up close. I smelt this and absolutely fell inlove with it. Citrusy, sweet, warm and zesty--it is the perfect compliment to almost any of my soap recipes when calling for something Orange-ish. I can't wait to visit NDA again soon and see what's new!

Another winner from ND! I've been mixing this with the Cinnamon and Clove Bud oils and putting it in the scent balls I purchased (all through ND at crazy low prices) and my whole house smells like fall!!! Thanks for being such a huge part of my change of seasons ND!!!! All of ND oils are accurately described and long lasting and very high quality. I find the ND website full of advice for the experienced and novice and I am always finding new ways of expanding my use of oils!

I don't use any other orange essential oil in my soap...The more I use, the better it is, and even when I used a small amount, the scent held up well. My old soap is months old and still smells great. You always read the citrus oils fade and aren't really worth the time unless you get a quality oil...here it is. However, I've never tried the regular oils to see if the 5 fold is really that much better.

I particularily like the Orange 5 fold because it is really stable in my formulations. I was able to decrease my emulsifier quantity by half because of the increased stability of Orange 5 fold compared to regular orange essential oils. Of course, it also has a fantastic scent that is exactly like the burst of scent you get when you open a fresh, ripe orange.
